This book brings together a number of contributors from different disciplinary perspectives to analyse technopoly both as a concept and as it is seen and understood in contemporary society. Contributors present both analysis of and strategies for managing techno-social conflict, and they also open up a number of fruitful new lines of thought around emerging technological, social and even psychological forms.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eForeword \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Eric McLuhan\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eA Trialogic Introduction \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Robert K.
