Review of 'Autonomous Technology' on 'Goodreads'

A fantastic introduction to the critique of technology. He goes through the most current themes, despite it being written in the 70s. He shows how the critique of technology has related to certain topics or problematics and develops a bleak but recognisable picture of our current predicament. Overall I can recommend this book to anyone whose even slightly interested in the critique of technology. At the same time, it can be tedious at certain moments, especially in regards to the overuse of long quotes and citations.
