This book is an essential reference for all students of
architecture, design and the built environment. It provides a
convenient single source for all the key texts in the fast
developing discipline of the philosophy of technology. It focuses
on the interplay between technology and society and considers the
impact of technology on fields as diverse as: art and visual
culture; politics, the environment, gender and the hottest topic of
all in today's digitally mediated world - the promise of a virtual
future inside the fluid 'space' of the computer.
Each section is introduced with a brief critical commentary,
situating the readings in a historical and theoretical context. The
collection draws on the work of many of the key figures in
twentieth century philosophy and cultural theory, including Martin
Heidegger, Walter Benjamin, Michel Foucault, Marshall McLuhan, Jean
Baudrillard and Paul Virilio as well as a range of writers at the
cutting-edge of contemporary digital culture such Manuel de Landa,
Marcos Novak and Hubert Dreyfus.
