What is the relationship between democracy and technology? And what should that relationship be? This book explores these questions, drawing upon a range of philosophical, historical and sociological points of view. In stark contrast to technology's promise as a wellspring of equality, freedom and self-government, its development now poses a host of problems for political society: an alarming concentration of power over global production, a widening gap between rich and poor, multiple environmental crises, trivialization of politics in the mass media, decline of citizen competence in decision making, and the disproportionate influence of scientific and technical elites. As the writers discuss these issues, they investigate new avenues for democratic politics, possibilities that emerge as modernist ideas about progress, justice and the common good lose their ability to guide contemporary though and action. This work should be of interest to philosphers, political scientists, those doing research on technology and society, engineers studying human factors, environmental scientists and sociologists.
