Alfvin Toffler, “Future Shock”, 1970 was the topic of an earlier blog blog.
Here I present: Nikolas Rose, “POLITICS OF LIFE ITSELF: Biomedicine, Power, and Subjectivity in the Twenty-First Century”, 2007, PART FOUR (IV). Nikolas Rose is a British sociologist and social theorist.
COMMENTS.
I quote Nikolas Rose first:
“Doctors have lost the monopoly of the diagnostic gaze and of the therapeutic calculation.”
“Medicine itself has also been transformed. It has become technomedicine, highly dependent on highly sophisticated diagnostic and therapeutic equipment.
Alvin Toffler, “Future Shock”, 1970 was a nonfiction book that sold six-million (6,000,000) copies. Alvin Toffler definition was: “Future shock is the dizzying disorientation brought on by the premature arrival of the future.”
The Nikolas Rose book resonates the with Alvin Toffler vibes, that caused Future Shock’ 1970 to sell six-million (6,000,000) copies. Technomedicine is here in the twenty-first century, and the diagnostic gaze monopoly of doctors is lost to the past as Nikolas Rose stated.
