Description

This book investigates what 'technology' is, what it helps us to do, and what it forces us to consider about our experience of being in the world. Using e-readers, such as the Kindle and iPad, as a case study, this work argues that the use of technology is more complicated and more human than public discussion often gives it credit for.
