Essays that explore new ways of living with technological change

Every year since 1964, the Socialist Register has offered a fascinating survey of movements and ideas
from the independent new left. This year's edition asks readers to explore just how we need to live with
new technologies. Essays in this 57th Socialist Register reveal the contradictions and dislocations of
technological change in the twenty-first century. And they explore alternative ways of living: from
artificial intelligence (AI) to the arts, from transportation to fashion, from environmental science to
economic planning.
