Yleisilmeeltään siisti kirja, mutta vähän myös käyttökulumaa, muutaman sivun alakulma vähän taittunut ja takakannessa vanha hintalappu.

Esittelytekstiä lainaten:

Gary Lee Downey investigates the body/machine interface in his remarkable ethnography of computer engineers. Drawing on interviews, observations and personal interaction with engineers, he documents the everyday power of technology's dominant image in our society, a force widely regarded as monolithically progressive.

"The Machine in Me" will lead the reader to understand how deeply connected we are to The Machine and how beneficial it would be for us to really understand ourselves and machines as partially configured of the other--we as part machine, machines as part human. In this way, we can begin to see both the power and limitations of technology.
