Why, the book is about the author's thesis that SF, far from being a
glorification of  technoscience as it is often deemed to be, is as a genre a
grand warning against its dangers, or even its unavoidably catastrophic
consequences.

In *Technophobia!* Dinelli collect a huge number of persuasive examples to
this effect, which he picks mostly from cinematographic SF, but to a large
extent also from SF literature.
