Summary: Well done
Comment: A good introduction to some issues in the philosophy of technology; however it is more of a heavily annotated bibliography on the subject. One can use it well as a "jumping off point" to learn about in outline the views of many others, which are amply referenced and documented. A warning: his characterizations of Mario Bunge's philosophy of technology - "technology as applied science" is incorrect. (See Bunge's _Treatise on Basic Philosophy_, volume 7.)

Rating: 5
Summary: Unifies the history and philosophy of technology
Comment: I found this book to be an excellant survey of the history and philosophy of technology. It replaces a multitude of other texts.

Rating: 5
Summary: A fascinating, enlightening discussion of technology
Comment: Carl Mitcham provides a provocative description and explanation of the various views of the philosophy of technology. Although I have not read many books like this one, and had to read it with a dictionary in the other hand, I could not put this book down
