Specific Detail Info

The Techno/Peasant Survival Manual is a popular technology guide from the early digital age written to help the technologically uninitiated — the “techno/peasants” — make sense of the rapidly evolving world of technology in the 1980s. The book covers a broad array of topics such as computers, weapons systems, lasers, genetic engineering, atomic power, telecommunications, and space exploration, explaining complex technical concepts in accessible prose with illustrations and examples. The authors aim to demystify science and technology so that ordinary readers can grasp not only how technologies work but also their social and cultural implications.
