Overview: A penetrating analysis of our technical civilization and of the effect of an increasingly standardized culture on the future of man.
"Jacques EIlul is a French sociologist, a Catholic layman active in the ecumenical movement, a leader of the French resistance in the war, and—one is tempted to add, after reading his book—a great man. Certainly he has written a magnificent book. … The translation by John Wilkinson is excellent.
"With monumental calm and maddening thoroughness he goes through one human activity after another and shows how it has been technicized—rendered efficient—and diminished in the process…." — Paul Pickrel, Harper’s
"The Technological Society is one of the most important books of the second half of the twentieth century. In it, Jacques Ellul convincingly demonstrates that technology, which we continue to conceptualize as the servant of man, will overthrow everything that prevents the internal logic of its development, including humanity itself—unless we take the necessary steps to move human society out of the environment that ‘technique’ is creating to meet its own needs."
