Essays that explore new ways of living with technological change Every year since 1964, the Socialist Register has offered a fascinating survey of movements and ideas from the independent new left.
This year's edition asks readers to explore just how we need to live with new technologies.
Essays in this 57th Socialist Register reveal the contradictions and dislocations of technological change in the twenty-first century.
And they explore alternative ways of living: from artificial intelligence (AI) to the arts, from transportation to fashion, from environmental science to economic planning.
