What people on Hacker News said
The Technological Society by Jacques Ellul. You will not see the world the same way. You can then read Industrial Society by Ted Kaczynski and understand his desperation.
The ideas are very interesting, strong second recommendation for Technological Society.
Ellul's - Technological Society - picked up on HN recommendation and I will admit it is interesting and worthwhile.
