Abstract

‘The Disenchantment of Progress. Towards a Luddite Critic of Technology’ is a book by Andoni Alonso and Iñaki Arzoz, which was ready for publication in 2019, although it appeared two years later, in 2021. This review focuses on the theoretical changes from the authors’ perspective on technology by taking into account the time lapse of almost twenty years between two common publications: Cybergolem. The Fifth Digital Column: Communal Anti-treatise of Hyper-politics, which they published in 2005, and The Disenchantment of Progress, published in 2021. Following the theses argued in this second book, the initial hopes on internet, a cyberspace that tried to share open access to information and increase the democratic grade of society at an international level, have failed. Being capable of developing self-criticism and exercising intellectual honesty, the authors propose to develop what they have called reflexive Luddism, a term explained along the review.
