Subtitled: Reflections on the Technocratic Society and its Youthful Opposition

I have yet to read this, but I may have a different or complementary take: I think, sometimes, societies engineer a counterculture to synthesize creative productivity, available via no other means.

Possibly related: Computing and the counterculture https://web.stanford.edu/dept/SUL/sites/mac/counter.html

And I think this may be what's happening right now with the lionizing of a kind of 80s/90s technocratic hippy grunge culture in products like Stranger Things, Monsters of California, and ... well... I don't have a 3rd example right now. So I can only "draw a line" through those two. I can't "make a plane". Anyone have a (higher, heh ;)) third?
