A Companion to the Philosophy of Technology by Jan Kyrre Berg Olsen
The aim of philosophy of technology is to help us understand technology s complex interrelationships with the environment, society, culture and with our very existence. A Companion to the Philosophy of Technology is the first comprehensive, authoritative reference source for this burgeoning and increasingly important field."The emphasis on environment highlights the current importance of the topic, and will probably be the quickest to date" (Reference Reviews, February 2010)
"The book is certainly worth consideration for some of the truly wonderful articles it does contain." (CHOICE, 2009)
