I think you'd really like Lewis Mumford too.

Ellul, Mumford, McLuhan, Postman and Illich constitute (accessible [1]) Technological Critique 101. I think they are essential reading for anyone who claims to be a "technologist" and wants to deeply understand the anthropological relations of humans and our technology.

[1] Without digging into Heidegger and more difficult stuff.
