"Lucid, provocative, and gracefully written, Andrew Feenberg's new book explores the complex interpenetration of technology, economics, and culture. It suggests creative ways to tame the technological juggernaut and to produce a more just, humane society for the century just ahead."--LangdonWinner, author of The Whale and the Reactor, "Excellent. It's good to see an academic philosospher engage a real world issue as critical in our time as the interaction of technology with society."--Jesse S.

It suggests creative ways to tame the technological juggernaut and to produce a more just, humane society for the century just ahead."--Langdon Winner, author of The Whale and the Reactor " Critical Theory of Technology provides a superb...presentation of the various positions in debates over technology, capitalism, and socialism; brilliant applications of the tradition of Critical Theory to these issues; and original and innovative analyses of Feenberg's own."--Douglas Kellner, University of Texas, Austin "A compelling argument for technological change based on a careful and lucidly written anatomy of the cultural, political, and economic values and practices underlying modern capitalism and socialism."--James O'Connor, University of California, Santa Cruz "Timely. The book is appropriate and recommended reading for managers and bureaucrats. It provides perspective. It offers ideas to consider in attemptin to discover alternative directions societies and workplaces could take in this decade to address issues and solve problems.

The book is also appropriate for workers in technology." -- Computing Reviews, "Excellent.

Synopsis
Modern technology is more than a neutral tool: it is the framework of our civilization and shapes our way of life. Social critics claim that we must choose between this way of life and human values. Critical Theory of Technology challenges that pessimistic cliche. This pathbreaking book argues that the roots of the degradation of labor, education, and the environment lie not in technology per se but in the cultural values embodied in its design. Rejecting such popular solutions as economic simplicity or spiritual renewal, Feenberg presents a compelling argument for broader democratic participation in technological choices. This book will be of special interest to scholars and students of philosophy, sociology, contemporary Marxism, and Critical Theory., Modern technology is more than a neutral tool: it is the framework of our civilization and shapes our way of life.
