Riassunto

In an era of accelerating technological change, how do we define progress? The fourth industrial revolution has led to invention and innovation happening faster than our ability to adapt and adjust. Rochlin combines Critical Theory, business frameworks, economics, and philosophy to explore the forces shaping our modern world and the 21st century society.

Part essay, part philosophy, part art project, and part personal journey, this short monograph explores concepts such as commodity fetishism, business ethics, and disruption through a Critical Theory lens, relying on the writings of Walter Benjamin and others. Removing notions of modernity from a strictly linear and historical narrative, he challenges how we define progress; how we measure it; and most importantly who we should allow to control it. Ultimately, it is a call to arms for a more balanced and responsible consideration of both the benefits and the harm of unleashing innovation.
