Our Society is depersonalizing humans and personalizing machines! We have a sociological crisis on our hands. This book is written in response to what the authors perceive as a growing crisis of depersonalisation in modern westernised society. One significant paradox to be explored here reveals that we personalise and anthropomphorise our machines, while depersonalising ourselves and treating others as if they were machines. Given our blind commitment to cyberspace technology and to the infrastructure that supports it, we have exposed ourselves to the cancers of dehumanisation and the panoply of malignant social growths which follow from it. More and more people young and old are logging on the one-dimensional relationships through computers and Cyberspace, rather than experiencing “real life”. Dr Ron Laura has made the campaign against depersonalisation part of his ongoing philosophy of life, and ably co-authored by Tim Marchant BA (Hon). These two academics and original thinkers have exposed the cancer of dehumanization in our society. A malignant Cancer, which is growing rapidly and invading our relationships and social Structure. Like specialist surgeons. Laura and Marchant have sought to define the cancer’s extent, roots and boundaries. Then with surgical precision, set down the ways in which society and individuals can remove this unnatural disease from our lives. This is an important book, which provides a new insight and paradigm and which can move mankind back to a level of humanity not experienced since the Industrial Revolution. A book that will open your eyes and expand your mind. 234 Pages 148 x 210 mm
