The Technological Society

Amazing that it was written in the '60's and still hold so much truth. Efficiency in every aspect of society is a scary thing. After you read the book, go and watch the movie Corporation.

He might be right. But also draws some conclusions based upon evolution too that draw him into some unnecessary tangents.

Prophetic and frightening.
