Technology and the Trajectory of Myth
This
book presents an entirely new way of understanding technology, as the
successor to the dominant ideologies that have underpinned the thought
and practices of the Western world. Like the preceding ideologies of
Deity, State and Market, technology displays the features of a modern
myth, promising to deal with our existential concerns on condition of
our subjection to them. Utilising robust empirical evidence, Lyria
Bennett Moses and David Grant argue that the pathway out of this
mythological maze is the production of means to establish a new sense of
political, corporate and personal self-responsibility.
