Summary/Abstract: Technophobia is an irrational fear of either technological influence or technological artifacts. Philosophical interest for technophobia is threefold: epistemological, existential and philosophical- anthropological. In the last five decades, computers have changed in major many areas of human life, including philosophy. The authors have started rendering technophobical issues in philosophy with emergence of technophobical objections to each leap forward in communication medium. Next area of analysis is speculative fiction. Determining the philosophical importance of speculative fiction, authors offered an overview of technophobical thesis in some of anthological works.
