Abstract

The article "TECHNOPOLIS: NOTES FOR A HISTORY OF THE FUTURE" analyzes the history of thinking about the future in Great Britain and the United States in the 20th century. It highlights the creation of technopolis as the dominant idea about the future, a society organized rationally and guided by technological innovation. However, this vision has also been criticized due to fears of dehumanization and social and environmental problems. Despite these concerns, it is recognized that technoscientific advances drive the development of societies and shape their future. The text analyzes the vision of the future from the 19th century to the present, highlighting the influence of technoscience on society and the importance of history to substantiate a debate about the future. It also mentions the criticism of technological utopia and the perception of technoscience as a threat to humanity. [Extracted from the article]
