Summary
Friedrich Georg Junger: The Fall of Technology
Originally published in 1946, the long essay by F.G. Jünger's The Failure of Technology criticizes the growing mechanization of the twentieth century through arguments later adopted by environmental movements. But Jünger goes beyond political ideology to warn the West of its own impending destruction if technological growth continues unchecked.
Unlike many of his contemporaries, Jünger saw the post-World War II world not as a bright new age, but as a march to ruin. Regardless of the people who used them, he believed that machines carried intrinsic evils and that their rapid progress collided with the natural rhythms of life. Although the Anglo world romanticizes the advancement of technology as "progress" toward a future techno-utopia, the German Jünger rejected unnatural perfection and precision in favor of humility and appreciation of the mysteries and wonders inherent in the natural world.
The Failure of Technology, its English translation by Fred D. Wieck, now long out of print, deserves rediscovery now more than ever. A new world was created in the ruins of World War II, and to understand its consequences, we can do no better than F.G. Jünger.
