You might be interested in reading "Industrial Society and Its Future". It has a lot of well-argued points along these lines. Highly recommended.

Well, I certainly didn't expect that google search to lead me to the Unabomber's manifesto. Did you expect everyone to know that by name?

If I said "The Unabomber's Manifesto", fewer people would read it just because of the stigma attached to the name. On its own, it's a legitimately interesting piece of writing with salient points about the topic at hand.

Not exactly sure if you were trolling or not, but I skimmed it and it seems interesting. I'm definitely going to give it a read - it seems to cover intersting points, even though I don't expect to find myself in agreement with the conclusions.

Nope, not trolling. It's an amazing piece of work from a brilliant (but crazy) author.

Ok. I only assumed it as a possibility because of who's the author + Poe's law. Anyway, seems like a very interesting read so thanks for pointing me towards it!
