My phone died today and I feel amputated and very uneasy. This made me realise how disgustingly dependent I am on it.

Please recommend me some books that deal with the relationship of humanity and technology and its downsides.

Wouldn't you rather read about the positives so you can feel comfortable with your "dependency" rather than even less so?

I guess I'm looking for a sour grapes type of thing so that I don't feel bad about not having a phone.

Saw this on a street sale some days ago, didnt buy it because I am short on money.
From the covertext it sounded like it would fit your criteria.
Has anyone read it? I am kinda curious.
