For Lewis Mumford [0] maybe "Myth of the Machine" - with his concept
of "megatechnics" - is more readable than the earlier "Technics and
Civilisation", but his earlier insights seem ever more relevant. For Neil Postman [1] the standard reader is "Technopoly", but for me
"Amusing Ourselves to Death" is a real treat. It was literally a
description of social media and modern "performance politics" 40 years
too early. [0] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lewis_Mumford [1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neil_Postman |
