Technopoly
Quoting wikipedia, from an interesting 1992 book:
[Postman] defines a technopoly as a society in which technology is deified, meaning "the culture seeks its authorisation in technology, finds its satisfactions in technology, and takes its orders from technology". It is characterised by a surplus of information generated by technology, which technological tools are in turn employed to cope with, in order to provide direction and purpose for society and individuals.
