Discover the groundbreaking masterpiece that has stood the test of time and remains as relevant today as it was over half a century ago. Jacques Ellul's The Technological Society is a must-read for anyone concerned about the impact of technology on society. This seminal work is the foundation upon which all other studies in this field are built.
With astute insight, Ellul reveals how technology, initially intended to serve mankind, now poses a threat to humanity itself. By creating an environment that serves its own purposes, technology has the potential to overthrow our very existence. No discussion on the perils of technology can start without delving into the profound analysis present in this book.
"A magnificent book," raves Harper's, highlighting Ellul's examination of how technology has transformed various human activities, rendering them efficient but also diminishing their essence. The powerful message resonates through the pages, leaving an indelible impact on readers.
Regarded as one of the most important works of the second half of the twentieth-century, The Technological Society by Jacques Ellul is a wake-up call. As Ellul convincingly argues, unless we take decisive action to break free from the environment created by technology, humanity itself is at risk. The Nation proclaims it a must-read, emphasizing the urgency of understanding the internal logic of technological development and its potential consequences.
Prepare to be enlightened by Ellul's profound exploration of our technologically-dominated world. Uncover the true nature of technology's autonomy and its relentless pursuit of a monolithic global culture, as described by the Los Angeles Free Press. All non-technological differences and diversity are at stake, and it is up to us to navigate the challenges and preserve the values that make us human.
