The document discusses the negative consequences of the Industrial Revolution and increasing technological development on society and the natural world. It argues that the industrial-technological system has subjected humans to indignities, increased psychological suffering, damaged the environment, and risks greater social disruption if continued to develop further. It advocates for a revolution against the current economic and technological basis of society in order to overcome these issues, though acknowledges any such revolution would still be painful and have consequences.
