Reviews

This unique and innovative book changes the very framework for doing philosophy of technology by introducing and developing a performance-based method of analysis. It is a moving investigation of how machines move, how this movement shapes our understanding of their social position and status, and how we, in turn, are moved by our technology. - David J. Gunkel, Northern Illinois University, USA
