I think the book is definitely worth a read. Technology does play a big role in our lives, however it tends to amplify social trends and shouldn’t be seen as a sole solution to social problems. As a technologists it’s very important to understand the limits of what technology can accomplish, and how technology is expressed within a particular social context.
Thanks for the share. I didn’t mean to argue. It’s a tough and very broad topic to approach as a technologist, but definitely deserving of study.
