Technology and Values: Essential Readings

“Overall, Technology and Values represents an excellent collection of readings, ranging from classical yet ever timely readings on the nature of technology itself, to cutting edge articles on recent technological developments in the applied sphere. Due to its unique broad and comprehensive coverage of the subject matter, coupled with its comprehensive bibliography, this book is an excellent tool for both graduate and undergraduate courses.”  (Agric Hum Values, 2011)

"For its size and scope this collection docs a remarkable job of addressing a critical need for greater scholarly and public attention to questions of technology and values in contemporary culture. It is a rich and versatile resource for anyone interested in such questions, and this reviewer hopes that future editions will only improve on its virtues." (Technology and Culture, April 2010)

"This carefully selected and well organized collection of readings demonstrate the philosophical importance of technology and should be required reading to anyone wanting to find out how ubiquitous is technology in our lives. I cannot think of a better collection of texts if your task as a teacher is to engage students in questions about technology and values in their everyday lives."
