A witty, often terrifying that chronicles our transformation into a society that is shaped by technology-from the acclaimed author of Amusing Ourselves to Death.

""A provocative book ... A tool for fighting back against the tools that run our lives.""-Dallas Morning News

The story of our society's transformation into a Technopoly- a society that no longer merely uses technology as a support system but instead is shaped by it-with radical consequences for the meanings of politics, art, education, intelligence, and truth.
