Routledge - Technology, Humans, and Discontent with Law

Explore the complex relationship between legal systems and human society in Technology, Humans, and Discontent with Law: The Quest for Better Governance. Published by Routledge, this book provides a deep analysis of why people feel dissatisfied with current legal frameworks and examines how technological advancements might change the future of governance. The text is divided into two distinct sections to provide a clear perspective. The first part examines the low-tech context, identifying the core reasons for legal discontent. It looks at the human nature of legal enterprises, the reliance on rules, and the pluralistic nature of human communities to assess if such dissatisfaction is reasonable. The second part shifts focus to the high-tech context. As new tools become available to perform governance functions, the book investigates the prospects of using technology to achieve better governance. This work is an essential resource for those studying the intersection of law, sociology, and technological evolution.
