The works of George Canguilhem and Gilbert Simondon are among the most significant contributions to understanding the relationship between life and the development of technology. In this chapter, we focus on Simondon’s work, arguing that the philosophical elaboration of this problem is found not only in his first monograph, The Mode of Existence of Technical Objects (Méot, 1958), but also in Individuation in Light of Notions of Form and Information (1964 and 1989). We argue that the concept of the “transindividual” signifies the process through which life gives rise to technology. Through a generalized notion of the network and the related concept of information, echoed in Individuation through the idea of the “transindividual”, Simondon addresses the genesis of the technical object. In his view, the technical object is not merely an artifact or tool, but rather a machine.
