No, Châtelet isn't mentioned - interested to hear more about the early use of the term in 1998 though

Thanks for this one, just out of interest since I haven't read the book: does Bickerton draw from Gilles Châtelet with his notion of "techno-populism"? Because he writes about it as early as 1998.
