Moved by Machines by Mark Coeckelbergh

This book uses a number of performance practices-dance, theatre, music, stage magic, and (perhaps surprisingly) philosophy-as metaphors for thinking about technology.

"This unique and innovative book changes the very framework for doing philosophy of technology by introducing and developing a performance-based method of analysisIt 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
