VACCA, ROBERTO

Modest Technologies for a Complicated World

Oxford: Pergamon Press, 1980. First Edition. Original decorated boards. ISBN: 0080240674. 172 pages. Covers plasticised. With library stamps and labels. Slight wear to spine, covers and corners. ; "Modest Technologies for a Complicated World" by Roberto Vacca is a thought-provoking exploration of the potential and limitations of technology in addressing the complexities of modern life. Vacca advocates for the adoption of "modest technologies," which he defines as simpler, more reliable, and more sustainable solutions that can enhance efficiency and accessibility without exacerbating existing societal problems. The book critiques the tendency to pursue advanced, often overly complex technologies that promise much but can lead to dependency, unforeseen complications, and increased costs. Vacca emphasizes that in many cases, such as in agriculture, healthcare, and education, less sophisticated technologies can achieve better outcomes with fewer unintended consequences. Through a series of case studies and theoretical discussions, the author illustrates how modest technologies can be effectively implemented across various sectors to solve real-world problems, promote resilience, and support sustainable development. The book challenges readers to reconsider their perceptions of innovation and progress, proposing a more thoughtful approach to technology deployment that prioritizes long-term societal and environmental benefits. ; Octavo; xiv, 172 pages.
