What should I know before reading Heidegger’s Question concerning Technology.

Why would you be confused at such question? I don’t have a lot of knowledge on Heidegger and certainly just having in mind that for him ‘is correct’ doesn’t enrich the experience nor makes things clearer. Who would talk or write about something that they didn’t thought was correct? The aim is to contextualize the text.

The ‘he believes that it is something which has been missed in the literature on technology so far’ is more what I’m looking for and helps.

(I don’t know how to quote fragments of answers) the last part of your answer sheds a bit of light to the text for me. I read somewhere that he ‘didn’t like’ the new modern technological world so much, i.g., modern technology and something which relates to it is the fact that he didn’t like to live in the city. If some of that holds to be true, would you say that Heidegger didn’t like the standing-reserve condition of the real in the world? I mean, if he thought about it as a negative thing that must be overcome.
