This freaking book man. Holy cow.

"In Technopoly, it is not enough for social sciences to rediscover ancient truths or to comment on the moral behavior of people. In Technopoly, it is an insult to call someone a 'moralizer.' Nor is it sufficient for social research to put forward metaphors, images, and ideas that can help people live with some measure of understanding and dignity."
