Technological solutionism as a book category groups works—both fiction and nonfiction—that center on the idea that technological innovation is the primary or exclusive means to solve social, political, or personal problems. These books range from enthusiastic portrayals of transformative inventions, start‑up manifestos, and speculative technoutopias to skeptical or cautionary narratives that examine hubris, unintended consequences, surveillance, inequality, and the limits of technical fixes. Common themes include algorithmic decision‑making, AI, biotech, infrastructure projects, and the clash between engineers or entrepreneurs and messy human institutions; protagonists may be visionary inventors, corporate technocrats, policy makers, or grassroots resisters. Readers choose this category to explore the promises, perils, ethics, and real‑world impacts of treating complex social issues primarily as engineering challenges.
