Description
This book explores Andrew Feenberg's idea that technology is both the main medium of domination in contemporary society and the principal site of democratic resistance. It presents his work as an account of the connection between disputes over the design of specific technologies and the challenge of constructing a new, sustainable civilisation. -- .
