"Tools for Conviviality" by Ivan Illich (1973) critiques various 
[technologies/systems] as having lost an [emphasis on/basis of] benefiting + 
delighting humanity while offering suggestions for rebuilding more 
convivial [means/tools]. "Tools for Conviviality" does operate from a utopic 
position + is distinctly situated in 1973 + includes very [applicable/
inspiring] moments.
