With characteristic wit and candor, Neil Postman, our most astute and engaging cultural critic, launches a trenchant - and harrowing - warning against the tyranny of machines over man in the late twentieth century.
In this provocative work, he chronicles our transformation from a society that uses technology to one that is shaped by it, as he traces its effects upon what we mean by politics, intellect, religion, history - even privacy and truth. But if Technopoly is disturbing, it is also a passionate rallying cry filled with a humane rationalism as it asserts the manifold means by with technology, placed within the context of our larger human goals and social values, is an invaluable instrument for furthering the most worthy human endeavors.
