US: New Society Publishers, Date: 2011. Paperback. Good. Techno-Fix questions a primary paradigm of our age: that advanced technolog y will extricate us from an ever increasing load of social, environmental, and economic ills. Techno-Fix shows why negative unintended consequences of science and technology are inherently unavoidable and unpredictable, why c ounter-technologies, techno-fixes, and efficiency improvements do not offer lasting solutions, and why modern technology, in the presence of continued economic growth, does not promote sustainability but instead hastens colla pse. The authors explore the reasons for the uncritical acceptance of new techno logies; show that technological optimism is based on ignorance and that inc reasing consumerism and materialism, which have been facilitated by science and technology, have failed to increase happiness. The common belief that technological change is inevitable is questioned, the myth of the value-neu trality of technology is exposed and the ethics of the technological impera tive: ?what can be done should be done" is challenged. Techno-Fix asserts t hat science and technology, as currently practiced, cannot solve the many s erious problems we face and that a paradigm shift is needed to reorient sci ence and technology in a more socially responsible and environmentally sust ainable direction. The readers of Techno-Fix will learn a number of inconvenient truths about science and technology, topics that are rarely, if ever, ...
