The authors challenge the "computer literacy" programmes devised by the government and directed at education in a bid to equip the young and rescue the economy from recession. They explore the relationship that has developed between education, industry and technology.
The authors risk being labelled as Luddites in challenging the "computer literacy" programmes devised largely by the government and directed at education in a bid to equip the young for the future and rescue the economy from recession. The text critically examines the substance of claims that the educational system has an anti-business bias and that computer literacy is the panacea for Britain's economic problems. The relationship that has developed between education, industry and technology is explored; attention is drawn to the political obsessions and illusions that lie behind this new orthodoxy and the possible alternatives are discussed.

Part 1 The myth of the machine: technological futures and the technical fix; the origins of the information society; recession and restructuring. Part 2 The industrialisation of education: education, Utopia and crisis; the English disease?; education for what jobs?; the new disciplines. Part 3 Beyond technocracy?: the military project; the technocratic condition, or schools cannot teach what society does not know.
