"This is a lucid and engaged study of the philosophy of technology, which refuses to stay within the confines of a narrowly defined 'technical' field. Lewin argues that any philosophy of this area must attend to the ultimate concerns which are implicit within technology . . . [T]his is a powerful and well-argued book, which demonstrates the continued vitality of the Heideggerian moment." - Steven Shakespeare, Lecturer in Philosophy, Liverpool Hope University "Dr Lewin has provided a generally lucid account and analysis of philosophical approaches to technology that does not shrink from addressing the complexities of Heidegger's philosophy (made more complex by Heidegger's dense prose and frequent coining of neologisms). The study's great service is to focus thought on the deep causes of the intellectual, moral and spiritual flatness of much contemporary life, principally, the exclusive focus on technological, instrumental, utilitarian modes of thought and the extent to which this dehumanising tendency can be found in all branches of thought, culture and action." - Charles Brickdale
