A volume of essays concerned with mapping out future domains in philosophy of technology, it will serve as an excellent text in a variety of courses. Since the future belongs to the young, in addition to established scholars there are many fresh voices featured. The scope of the essays range from data discrimination to space junk and beyond. This volume offers a glimpse into the future of philosophy of technology, laying out the land in contemporary philosophy technology. The organization maps out the spaces of activity in the field and anticipates the big issues that we will soon face. Exciting new work on social networking, virtual environments, privacy, intellectual property, and discrimination with data constitute crucial avenues of thought for understanding and framing our experiences with and through technology today. Of enduring interest, articles on outer space, engineering design, and technology assessment help anchor this volume in more traditional topics, while work on the relationship between art and technology suggest that some themes that have been less emphasized in recent work will receive new life.

Industry Reviews

"This volume not only represents an impressive contribution to the philosophy of technology, but also helps serve to further define this lively field of inquiry. It shows how philosophical questions about technology abound within familiar spheres of human interaction such as art and religion, as well as in new spaces created by technology such as virtual reality. With insightful and accessibly-written essays from a diversity of theoretical perspectives, this work promises to be an excellent resource both for inspiring classroom discussion and for future scholarly research."
