Review :
"This is far and away the most useful and comprehensive anthology on the subject to date. It considerably broadens the scope of the philosophy of technology, and the sophistication with which its areas can be approached. This book is an indispensable tool for anyone who wants to understand the nature and impact of modern technology – which is to say, for anyone who wants to understand the contemporary world." Robert P. Crease, State University of New York at Stony Brook "Philosophy of Technology: the technological condition offers a balanced survey of the main currents in the history of philosophy of technology..."
