TechnoFix: Why Technology Won't Save Us Or the Environment,Used
Delivery time: 8-12 business days (International)
TechnoFix questions a primary paradigm of our age: that advanced technology will extricate us from an ever increasing load of social, environmental, and economic ills. TechnoFix shows why negative unintended consequences of science and technology are inherently unavoidable and unpredictable, why countertechnologies, technofixes, and efficiency improvements do not offer lasting solutions, and why modern technology, in the presence of continued economic growth, does not promote sustainability but instead hastens collapse.The authors explore the reasons for the uncritical acceptance of new technologies; show that technological optimism is based on ignorance and that increasing consumerism and materialism, which have been facilitated by science and technology, have failed to increase happiness. The common belief that technological change is inevitable is questioned, the myth of the valueneutrality of technology is exposed and the ethics of the technological imperative: 'what can be done should be done' is challenged. TechnoFix asserts that science and technology, as currently practiced, cannot solve the many serious problems we face and that a paradigm shift is needed to reorient science and technology in a more socially responsible and environmentally sustainable direction.The authors of TechnoFix are inside observers of the technological scene. Educated and experienced in science and engineering, the authors deliver a highly readable, insightful and powerful critique of modern technology.The readers of TechnoFix will learn a number of inconvenient truths about science and technology, topics that are rarely, if ever, covered in the media or discussed among professionals. Readers will be challenged to reexamine their current worldview, their paradigms and assumptions about the socalled promises of modern technology. But they will also feel empowered and inspired by the fact that most problems confronting humanity have inherently simple, lowtech solutions.Who should read TechnoFix? Anyone concerned about the effects of technology on society and the environment; anyone teaching or studying science, engineering, medicine, or related disciplines; anyone intending to create a better future.TechnoFix has been endorsed by Richard Heinberg, Bill McKibben, David Suzuki, William Rees, and many other important figures in the environmental and academic community.
