This book investigates the problematic assumption that technological advancement is inherently synonymous with sustainable progress in human organizations. Authors Pasi Heikkurinen and Toni Ruuska, both scholars in management and sustainability, challenge the techno-optimist paradigm by deconstructing the role of technology in modern society. They propose a transdisciplinary framework that encourages readers to conceptualize sustainability through alternative lenses that do not rely solely on technological fixes.

Experts in the field of sustainability studies recognize this work as a significant contribution to the critique of techno-centrism in management literature. Readers frequently note the academic density of the prose, which is best suited for scholars and practitioners interested in the philosophical underpinnings of environmental policy.
