The author of this book is a scientist who has been studying the development of technology and its impact on society for many years. He argues that the rapid pace of technological change has led to a loss of control over our lives and a loss of connection with our own humanity. He believes that we need to develop a personal paradigm for understanding and navigating the technological process in order to regain control and live more fulfilling lives. The book begins by discussing the history of technology and how it has evolved over time. The author explains how technology has changed the way we live, work, and communicate, and how it has had both positive and negative effects on society. He argues that while technology has brought many benefits, such as increased productivity and connectivity, it has also led to a loss of privacy, the erosion of traditional values, and the creation of new social problems. The author then goes on to describe the concept of the "technological imperative which he defines as the belief that technology must always be the driving force behind progress and development.
