Abstract

This small paperback deals with the sociological problems of the technical revolution and no one concerned with today’s and tomorrow’s world can afford to miss reading it. The author surveys the vital sociological issues, many of them controversial, which spring from the current swift scientific and technological progress. This is done from a marxist view of the trends and laws of technical and scientific development. It raises vigorous polemic with antimarxist and reformist theories and conclusions.
