David Hakken

Cyborgs@Cyberspace?

An Ethnographer Looks to the Future

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Arguing that humans have always been technological as well as cultural beings, David Hakken calls for a fundamental rethinking of the traditional separation of anthropology and technical studies. Drawing on three decades of research on contemporary technological societies, this book outlines a fresh way of thinking about technology and offers an ethical and political response to the challenge of truly living as "cyborgs" in the age of cyberspace.
