But Postman asks critical questions and forces us to consider our previous opinions about technology. The following sections focus on Postman's central arguments about technology and society. One of his main points is that new technologies alter what we think about . Another point he makes is that science has replaced religion for us in many ways, but technology has already begun to replace science . Not only has this begun to happen, but also technology is deified by our culture.
Postman also points out that some technologies come in disguise .
In his last chapters, Postman discusses scientism as technopoly's grand illusion and how the adoration of technology preempts the adoration of anything else. Finally, he gives his solutions and what we should do to stop Technopoly. This book review will conclude with a critique of this book. The Surrender of Culture to Technology . Random Books, 1992.
