Foreword by Robert Graves whom he met in Deya, Mallorca, Spain. The book was a result of conversations between the author and Graves about the threatened collapse of technological civilisation the result was that Graves begged him to write a book on the subject. Teknosis is the word derived from the Greek Techne - craft or skill and Osis - drive or impulse but in English Osis refers to a diseased state. He applies this to the past and present across all areas such as science, politics, economics, the environment et al.
