"Industrialism has alienated us from nature, disconnected us from our own embodiment,
and blinded us the character of the technological society we have ourselves produced.
This book brings together ideas and research from both social and natural sciences
to throw light on the hidden dimensions of industrial life, showing how the emerging
global economic system has dissolved our embodied subjectivity into industrial processes.
The symbolic abilities that have allowed us to dominate all other creatures have now
entrapped us within systems that we do not understand and have little control over,
making us as vulnerable to the extension of economic and technological ideologies
as our ancestors were to the natural threats that surrounded them. If we are to regain
our humanity and integrity, the essential first step, outlined in this book, is to
recognise and challenge the sources of our own powerlessness."--Publisher's website
