The book “TECH. A Critique of the Development of the Technological Environment” centres around the themes of the application of novel technologies up till 2040 and the evolutionary technological environment that has emerged as a consequence. The work also addresses the mechanisation of human beings and the environment. The book “TECH. A Critique of the Development of the Technological Environment” centres around the themes of the application of novel technologies up till 2040 and the evolutionary technological environment that has emerged as a consequence. The work also addresses the mechanisation of human beings and the environment.The on-going expansion of techniques has resulted in the rise of an increasingly dynamic and expansive new technological environment which is slowly becoming the actual backdrop for human life. This environment is absorbing the space previously occupied by the natural environment, producing its own synthetic life forms that will endanger human civilisation over the next two decades. This process is taking place as a result of advances in IT, robotics as well as nanotechnology.It is crucial to understand this problem because over the upcoming decades the technical environment will expand to such an extent that it will become the actual backdrop for our life on Earth. This will come with massive and irrevocable changes to humankind and the entire environment.The technical environment is set to intercept the space of the natural environment and the humans living in it, with dramatic changes involving the rationalisation, standardisation and subsequent mechanisation of the entire world.
