The Failure of Technology and the Survival of the Indian Nations by Jerry Mander who argues that while technology is often seen as progress, it has led to environmental degradation, cultural erosion, and a loss of meaning in human life. He critiques the assumption that technological development is always positive, pointing out how it disconnects humans from nature and each other. Mander highlights the ways in which corporate and government interests promote technology without considering its harmful effects on traditional cultures and the natural world. A key aspect of the book is its focus on indigenous peoples, particularly Native American nations, who have historically resisted technological assimilation. Mander admires their ability to maintain a spiritual connection to nature and offers their worldview as a counterpoint to the dominant Western mindset.
