RE: Is This It?

I read this book, which discusses much the same idea. Here's an excerpt.

Each new power won by man is a power over man as well. - The Abolition of Sanity by Steve Turley

The implication is that the more our technology and knowledge progresses, the less we are bound by virtue and basic humanity.

...if nature is there to be manipulated to the wants and desires of others, then inevitably the vast majority of humanity would be vulnerable to scientific and technological manipulation according to the needs of the technological elite.

The book takes much of its inspiration from The Abolition of Man by C. S. Lewis
