It is nothing short of a basic book for anyone interested in knowing about the ecology of technology."--Neil Postman, author of "Technopoly: The Surrender of Culture to Technology"This thoughtful, sensitive, and sane book heralds a coming new evaluation of the role of science and technology in the affairs of the human species."--Joseph Weizenbaum, Professor of Computer Science, MIT
