The Revolution of Hope: Toward a Humanized TechnologyFor those, young and old, who are seeking and demanding new paths and meaning in their lives... For all those who share their hope for a world in which joy and love are possible. Here is Erich Fromm's powerful and urgently timely alternative to hopelessness. It shows the root of violence and indifference to life. In The Revolution of Hope, the internationally acclaimed author of The Art of Loving offers a brilliant analysis of our technological society and its effects on man; he shows that we still have time to make man the master of the machine rather than its servant -- if we understand the crossroads we are facing and have the courage and imagination to shift from the priorities of things and death to the priorities of life and man. |
