Vintage Technopoly: The Surrender of Culture to Technology

Great book, I really recommended. A technology that is not well integrated in our culture,a techonology without control and wisdom, can destroy our culture and values.

A massive critical scholarship is evident in every sentence of this book!!! A must read for younger generations just to be wary what they are upto with unmanageable technology at their disposal. Just Fabulous !!!

One of the best essays about good and bad things of techno life.

Very prophetic book.

The book started a bit slowly for me, but after the third or fourth chapter it became really engrossing. There are eleven chapters in all, the last of these contains a prescription for educational systems as well as individuals. The book reads more like a monologue than a traditional philosophy book. It is well-written but easily accessible to non-academics. The main thrust of the author's thesis is (as I understand it) technology is a moral question: just because something can be done does not imply we ought to do it. Furthermore, we have become indiscriminate in our acceptance of information, which complicates our lives. As I write this, more ideas come to me...I imagine I will re-read this book sometime. There is a lot of good information; this book is an important one for any and all.
