Dear List, I eventually got around to writing to the rights holders of F.G Jünger´s "Die Perfektion der Technik" (The Failure of Technology) to persuade them to reprint this magically insightful book in English.
They replied that Alethes Press, the publishing arm of the International Institute of Arts and Letters, will shortly be publishing it! Excellent news - I am re-reading it now and am again and again impressed by F.G.J´s deep insights into the true foundations and consequences of technology. Insights which I believe also prove that myth speaks about deeper realities than reason can reach - he certainly came to much of his understanding through his deep knowledge of Greek mythology, in particular of the nature of the Titans. This book matches anything EJ wrote - and I say that as a very devoted fan of EJ´s. Simon http://ernst-juenger.blogspot.com
