Grant and Moses on Technology and the Trajectory of Myth @lyria1 @ElgarPublishing

New from Elgar Publishing: David Grant, University of Melbourne Law School, and Lyria Bennett Moses, UNSW Sydney, have published Technology and the Trajectory of Myth (2017).

This book presents an entirely new way of understanding technology, as the successor to the dominant ideologies that have underpinned the thought and practices of the Western world. Like the preceding ideologies of Deity, State and Market, technology displays the features of a modern myth, promising to deal with our existential concerns on condition of our subjection to them. Utilising robust empirical evidence, David Grant and Lyria Bennett Moses argue that the pathway out of this mythological maze is the production of means to establish a new sense of political, corporate and personal self-responsibility.
