Radical Technology
"Radical Technology is perhaps an unfamiliar idea. Everyone has heard of 'alternative technology' - which has come to signify solar panels on the roof, windmills in the garden, and cars run off gas from chicken manure. Radical Technology encompasses much that is meant by 'alternative technology' but sees these as new, liberating tools, techniques and sources of energy as part of a restructured social order, and aims to place them directly in the hands of the community. Radical Technology is a contribution to the wider dialogue on alternative politics, economics, work-patterns and life-styles, all the more urgent in a deepening global crisis of resource supply and ecological stability, at a time when demans for economic justice, self determination and meaningful work can no longer be denied. Radical Technology is not just a way for the middle class to trim its central heating bills."--
