The author argues that developing a personal paradigm for perceiving the technological process is crucial for the survival of humanity and the unity of people in a world filled with conflict. The book begins by examining the role of proof and deduction in human reasoning, demonstrating how these concepts have evolved over time. The author delves into the history of logical reasoning, tracing its origins to ancient Greece and its subsequent developments throughout the centuries. This historical context provides a solid foundation for understanding the current state of technology and its influence on society. As technology continues to advance at an unprecedented pace, the book emphasizes the importance of critical thinking and deductive reasoning in navigating this complex landscape.
