The book "Не ешьте эту книгу" (Do Not Eat This Book) by Boris Groys is a thought-provoking and insightful exploration of the relationship between technology, culture, and society. The author argues that our understanding of technology and its impact on society has been limited by our tendency to view it as a tool for achieving specific goals, rather than as a process of continuous evolution. He contends that we need to develop a personal paradigm for perceiving the technological process of developing modern knowledge, one that recognizes the interconnectedness of technology, culture, and society, and the need for ongoing adaptation and evolution. The book begins by examining the history of technology and its role in shaping human civilization. Groys argues that technology has always been a double-edged sword, capable of bringing great benefits but also posing significant risks. For example, the invention of writing allowed for the recording of knowledge and the development of complex societies, but it also created a sense of detachment from nature and the loss of direct experience. Similarly, the rise of industrialization brought about unprecedented economic growth and prosperity, but it also led to environmental degradation and social inequality. Groys then turns his attention to the present day, where he argues that technology is evolving at an ever-increasing pace, with new innovations and inventions emerging at a rapid rate. However, this rapid evolution is not without its costs, as it can lead to the displacement of traditional industries and the loss of jobs.
