In Exceptional Technologies, Smith offers a completely new take on philosophy of technology via the tradition of transcendental thought in continental philosophy. He shows us how usual notions of contemporary philosophy of technology, usually conceived as wedded to the empirical turn, can be revitalised when technology is thought in relation to the transcendental. By using the example of exceptional technologies - such as failed inventions, artworks with impossible aims and other marginalised technologies - Smith has produced a book that is insightful, exciting, entirely compelling and a must read for anyone interested in staying at the cutting-edge of philosophy and media theory in the contemporary era. -- Timothy Barker, Senior Lecturer in Digital Media, School of Culture and Creative Arts, University of Glasgow, UK
