Modernity and Technology: Harnessing the Earth to the Slavery of Man

A provocative examination of how technological progress shapes – and sometimes shackles – human existence. Published by University of Alabama Press, this scholarly work interrogates the relationship between modernisation and freedom, questioning whether our innovations truly liberate us or merely create new forms of dependence. Dense, challenging, and intellectually rigorous, it's the kind of book that demands active engagement. Perfect for students of political philosophy, critics of technological determinism, or anyone who's ever wondered if we control our tools or they control us.
