Summary
A witty, often terrifying chronicle that explores our transformation into a society shaped by technology.
“A provocative book… A tool for fighting back against the tools that run our lives.” - Dallas Morning News
This work tells the story of our society’s transformation into a Technopoly—a society that no longer merely uses technology as a support system but instead is shaped by it. This shift has radical consequences for the meanings of politics, art, education, intelligence, and truth.
