The article addresses the issue of the role and purpose of technology in the modern discourse of eco-anarchism. The author examines the concepts of Murray Bookchin and John Zerzan in order to reactivate the need for understanding the technology regarding the current global environmental and social crises of the Anthropocene. The technology in eco-anarchism cannot be freed from the socio-ethical moment, therefore any questioning about technology is connected with understanding its relations with society and nature. Opposing Marxism, eco-anarchists see in technology not so much a way of exploitation of the environment by a man as an active embodiment of ecological symbiosis between society and nature. Such an interpretation of the technology allows us to rethink the essence of both the work activity of the person and the power relations in society.
