Techno-optimism, or the enduring belief that technology use and production are promising for humanity, is bound up in past and ongoing ideals of modernity, progress, and “development.” As a particular form of hope and aspiration, techno-optimism is harnessed for nation-building and economic development projects that invest in the promise of scaling. This article demonstrates that this enduring techno-optimism requires various forms of entrepreneurial labor, and that the promise of scaling and technological progress together form a contemporary technique of governance.

技术乐观主义或对技术的使用和生产对人类有希望的持久信念，被现代，进步和“发展”的过去和持续的理想所束缚。作为一种希望和抱负的特殊形式，技术乐观主义被用于对扩大规模的承诺进行投资的国家建设和经济发展项目。本文证明了这种持久的技术优化需要各种形式的企业家劳动，并且规模化和技术进步的希望共同构成了当代的治理技术。
