Sobre IBD

In 1992, Neil Postman presciently coined the term ’technopoly’ to refer to ’the surrender of culture to technology’. This book brings together a number of contributors from different disciplinary perspectives to analyse technopoly both as a concept and as it is seen and understood in contemporary society. Contributors present both analysis of and strategies for managing socio-technical conflict, and they also open up a number of fruitful new lines of thought around emerging technological, social and even psychological forms.
