The Making of a Counter Culture: Reflections on the Technocratic Society and Its Youthful Opposition is a work of non-fiction by Theodore Roszak originally published by Doubleday & Co. in 1969 . [1]
Roszak "first came to public prominence in 1969, with the publication of his The Making of a Counterculture " [2] which chronicled and gave explanation to the European and North American counterculture of the 1960s . The term " counterculture " was first used by Roszak in this book. [3]
The Making of a Counter Culture "captured a huge audience of Vietnam War protesters, dropouts, and rebels--and their baffled elders. Theodore Roszak found common ground between 1960s student radicals and hippie dropouts in their mutual rejection of what he calls the technocracy --the regime of corporate and technological expertise that dominates industrial society. He traces the intellectual underpinnings of the two groups in the writings of Herbert Marcuse and Norman O. Brown , Allen Ginsberg and Paul Goodman ." [4]
