Product Description
A powerful and original book by one of the pioneers in the ethics of development. The author peels away the mystique surrounding
modern technology to lay its basic dynamism and its dual nature as simultaneous bearer and destroyer of values. His concern is that societies - developed as well as less-developed-
now allow "high" technology to subvert truly human needs.
It's message is as relevant today as when it was first published more than two decades ago - indeed more so as "high" technology has continued to advance in the rich countries and penetrate
eveer more deeply the fabric of society in pooer developing countries.
