Review # 2 was written on 2016-10-21 00:00:00 Elvis Florentino Finally i finished this book! almost 3 years after i first picked it up, while i was still a student at CTARA and working on technology dissemination. At that time, i was unable to understand why my guide had asked me to read this book. It seemed to criticise Appropriate Technology, which we had been studying at that time. Now i realise why i should have read the book then. This book outlines the AT movement, its incongruities, moral fallacies, and a lot more and gives a clearer perspective on technology and development than most texts on AT. All Technology is violent, All of humanity is dependent on all of the resources, self-sufficiency is a myth, etc. Over the years, i had realised these things for myself, but still thought of some utopian AT and an alternative world can exist. Now i am not waylaid. A must read for every student of Technology and Development.
