Can Life Prevail? by picrel.

>> No.17311082

>>17310995
I think he makes some valid points and it is pretty good for being "only" a manifesto and the fact he didnt have a formal education on philosophy and the humanities, but I want something more solid. Hopefully not meme 4chan right wing crap.

by something more solid I mean something actually quotable in academic research or simply writen by people with a background in humanities and philosophy with actual references in their work.

Then read The Technological Society by Ellul

George Grant's essays about technology may also be of interest although they are more philosophical and are quite Canada-centric so you may not care

Linkola isn't an academic but has an interesting POV and reading his stuff feels like a conversation with a sweet old man

Also you could read Anti-Tech Revolution also by Kaczynski, he released it in 2016 I believe

Best description of him I've heard so far. Reading Can Life Prevail is like times when I tag along with my dad to see his friends or something (in a very good way).
