Summary: Short articles on technology philosophy
Review: This is a collection of short articles that blend technology and philosophy. The writing is excellent and the insights are profound. There is little technical detail in the work. But that's not the point. This book is all about having a larger view of technology and it's place in our culture and how it is changing us.

If technology is a lifelong passion for you, then you will want to have a look at this. If the computer business is just a day job then you probably won't get anything out of this.
