Unadjusted Man in an Age of Overadjustment

In 'Unadjusted Man in an Age of Overadjustment,' Peter Viereck critiques modern society's inclination to over-adapt to technological and social changes, arguing for humanist steadiness.

Viereck draws on literary and philosophical sources to lament dehumanizing effects of unchecked modernization.

The book urges a conservative appreciation for continuity, prudence, and moral restraint amid rapid change.

Wilsey references it to illustrate conservative concerns about technology and cultural speed.
