Such an extraordinary book, & so lucidly written. I’d forgotten how conservative the implicit conclusions of it were. In the 21st C Postman would be sympathetic to those polities not enamoured by each new innovation that doesn’t serve human flourishing (they aren’t in the West). – source2018-05-20T02:22:45.000Z
@FinnParr @lethargilistic @aprilwensel Technopoly is a book anyone who works on tech must read - so important even where he goes too far (which he does, but exploring how to sort it out is unavoidable for any reader) – source
