there is a small book i've begun reading recently called "Let Them Eat Data"
which emphatically (perhaps dogmatically) questions technology's 
ecological sustainability and the new-media utopia mindset
(its not entirely to my taste but seemed appropriate to this tangent)

with some refreshingly concise social-utopic proposals
