Can you suggest me some books (both fiction and non-fiction, poetry is fine too) that deal with, or criticize the negative impact of technology, urbanization, science, etc... on the human psyche, but do so in a detailed/subtle manner?
That is, they don't consist of trite, surface-level arguments that sound like they're written by a moralizing boomer ("phone bad") or an ecofascist ("what if humans are the virus")?
>inb4 "that's all there is to it, technology bad, what is there more to say?"

I've read Brave New World, planning to read "Industrial Society and Its Future". I suppose I should look into the Romantic movement and its praise of nature/rejection of industrialization. I'm not interested in /pol/-tier empty political rhetoric -- the "reject modernity, embrace tradition" kind of memes -- I acknowledge the conservative/reactionary political angle that underlies these themes, but there's more to it than just politics.
