520 1 _a"Controlling Technology brings together widely conflicting views concerning the nature of modern technology as it relates to the quality of everyday life and to the larger problem of human survival on this planet. The thesis that technology has indeed become autonomous is contrasted with the position that, by its very nature, technology can only exist under human control. Thirty-four insightful essays are divided into eight parts, each with its own introduction summarizing the chapters and placing them in their appropriate contexts." "This excellent collection of essays will be of great value for students, professionals, and all those interested in technology, the human values it affects, and the social dimensions of its use, and will appeal to anyone who has every paused to consider the every-expanding role technology plays in modern society." "Included are works by renowned scholars Jacques Ellul, Lewis Mumford, Albert Borgmann, Langdon Winner, Thomas Hughes, Andrew Feenberg, Samuel Florman, Arnold Pacey, Hans Jonas, Dorothy Nelkin, and many others."--BOOK JACKET.
