A propos de ce titre

Synopsis

Technology is developing at an increasingly swift pace, and there is likely to be a tipping point when change occurs at a pace so rapid that humans are not able to adjust, either individually or as a society. J. Craig Wheeler argues that we must take charge of our technology now, before we lose the ability to control it.
