Reviews
Publisher Synopsis
"Sherry Turkle and the contributors use memoirs, psychoanalysis, and ethnography to illuminate our attachments, our grief, our compulsions, our use of things to explore life and death, to shape new selves. Their insights make this book important reading not only for professionals but for everybody who wonders where innovation is taking us." --Edward Tenner, author of Our Own Devices: How Technology Remakes Humanity and Why Things Bite Back: Technology and the Revenge of Unintended Consequences "What a remarkable book--as if it were a magic toolbox, out of this volume come objects with stories: cell phones, dialysis machines, defibrillators, websites, and much more. Using fieldwork, clinical work, and memory work, Sherry Turkle and her terrific contributors make the material world a place of living meanings that tell a great deal about who we are--and who we are becoming. Even more: this is a sophisticated book that is great fun to read." --Peter Galison, Joseph Pellegrino University Professor, Harvard University Read more...
