This anthology features essays and book excerpts on technology and values written by preeminent figures in the field from the early 20th century to the present. It offers an in–depth range of readings on important applied issues in technology as well.
Useful in addressing questions on philosophy, sociology, and theory of technology
Includes wide–ranging coverage on metaphysics, ethics, and politics, as well as issues relating to gender, biotechnology, everyday artifacts, and architecture
A good supplemental text for courses on moral or political problems in which contemporary technology is a unit of focus
