2 “ … transcendence of the limits imposed on #mankind - lie at the core of the modern cult of #technology.” - #DavidFNoble, #Progress Without People: New Technology, Unemployment and the Message of Resistance

#Hivemind: the book I’m reading, Progress Without People by #DavidFNoble refers to “a number of short #essays on #technological #progress by #ChristopherLasch but, frustratingly, doesn’t provide any further details about them. Does anyone know what he might be referring to?

“ #IndustrialPolicy really is #social #policy, and the indicators of success should not be the degree of industrial competitiveness or the number of machines or the return on investment, but the level of satisfaction of our #citizens.” - #DavidFNoble, Progress Without People
