Review :
"Teich's volume links these more abstract reflections to the real world of technology, bringing the obtuse musings of the philosopher of technology into contact with policy, practical and ethical issues involved in the everyday use of technology. . . . His volume is unique in its accessibility to students from a variety of technical and nontechnical backgrounds." "There are some classic articles which provide a great introduction to the field." "There is no other book like this. I can't find a good book of technology readings, and putting together my own packet is a nightmare. As a composition instructor who teaches with technology, this lets us have a critical discussion and writing about the sea of technology we are all swimming in."
