The first is The Technological Society by Jacques Ellul. Ellul is writing cultural criticism for a largely secular audience rather than theology for a Christian audience, and he tends to essentialism, but his analysis of technology in terms of freedom is thought provoking. The book was published in the 50s and could use some updating, but it seems remarkably prescient given that he wrote it before the advent of the digital computer. Ellul also wrote a theological counterpart to The Technological Society, titled The Meaning of the City, where he investigates the idea of technological development as it is used throughout the Bible.
