inanimate objects

[bartholomew]

I have the following problem:

I would like to make clearer the following sentence:I am not a prisoner of inanimate objects.

Nowadays people surround themselves with so many inanimate objects that they kind of becme imprisoned by them. Can you think of other more stylistically correct versions of conveying the same idea?

[Mr.Ix]

How about, "I will not be a hostage to inanimate objects"? or " I am not a slave to...etc etc"?

[Guinevere]

How about instead of inanimate objects you use 'materials things'?

if you are using it acedemically i would steer clear of "kind of"

You could invert it for impact.

I solely submit to the vital.
