The Technological Society

*The Technological Society*, written by Jacques Ellul, analyzes how technological advancements shape and influence modern life. It argues that technology has become the primary force driving societal change, affecting culture, politics, economy, and individual behavior. Ellul suggests that society often adopts technology for efficiency and progress, but this can lead to loss of autonomy, increased dependence, and unintended consequences. The book emphasizes the need to critically assess technological development and its impacts, advocating for awareness and deliberate choices to ensure technology serves human values rather than diminishing them.
