Description

The recent data controversy surrounding Facebook highlights the tech industry's failure to prepare for its consequences. This book examines society's inability to manage technology and its resulting negative consequences. Mitroff argues that the "technological mindset" is responsible for our unbridled obsession with technology, which will cause further crises unless confronted. A trans-disciplinary text, this book appeals to academics, students, and practitioners through its discussion of the modern technological crisis. Through a critical examination of the role of technology in society, Mitroff offers insights into the need for proactive crisis management in the digital age.
