A Canticle for Leibowitz Essay Walter M. Miller portrays an idea of how he thinks technology will affect society many years in the future. This is not necessarily how we think technology will affect society. The role technology has on human existence and the consequence that change has on humanity are outlined and developed throughout the three separate parts of the novel: Fiat Homo, Fiat Lux and Fiat Voluntas Tua A Canticle for Leibowitz. is set many years in the future, after the devastation of the Nuclear Holocaust and the Flame Deluge. The Holocaust has destroyed any technology known to man and forced society to start over. The survivors of the holocaust rid society of any intelligence including doctors, scientists, and any who are educated. The survivors do this because they feel threatened by the knowledge people have and become simpletons. They also see the educated as the cause of the holocaust in the first place, they feel that because scientists invented nuclear weapons, it’s their fault they were used to destroy the world. In the beginning of the novel the scientists use the church as a place of comfort and wisdom. The monks transcribe all the remains of the book print, into illuminated manuscripts.
