Transforming Technology: A Critical Theory Revisited

Transforming Technology: A Critical Theory Revisited

Thoroughly revised, this new edition of <em>Critical Theory of Technology</em> rethinks the relationships between technology, rationality, and democracy, arguing that the degradation of labor--as well as of many environmental, educational, and political systems--is rooted in the social values that preside over technological development. It contains materials on political theory, but the emphasis has shifted to reflect a growing interest in the fields of technology and cultural studies.
