The People Shapers
Condition remarks:
Condition: Very Good. Jacket: Very good, no tears, minimal wear. Page Condition: Good. Markings: No markings. Binding: Tight and secure hardcover binding. No stickers or library stamps visible.
A landmark work of popular social criticism, The People Shapers presents a sweeping and unsettling examination of the emerging technologies and behavioural sciences being used to monitor, manipulate, and modify human beings. Vance Packard, one of America's most incisive social commentators, argues with characteristic clarity and urgency that advances in genetics, behaviour modification, and psychological conditioning pose profound threats to individual freedom and identity. The book chronicles the rise of a scientific establishment empowered to reshape personality, engineer compliance, and even alter human biology — raising urgent ethical questions about who controls these tools and to what ends. Written with the accessibility and sharp wit that made Packard a bestselling author, this is a compelling and cautionary account of science outpacing the moral frameworks designed to govern it.
