Klappentext zu „The Inner History of Devices “
For more than two decades, in such landmark studies asThe Second Self andLife on the Screen, Sherry Turkle has challenged our collective imagination with her insights about how technology enters our private worlds. In The Inner History of Devices, she describes her process, an approach that reveals how what we make is woven into our ways of seeing ourselves. She brings together three traditions of listening--that of the memoirist, the clinician, and the ethnographer. Each informs the others to compose an inner history of devices. We read about objects ranging from cell phones and video poker to prosthetic eyes, from Web sites and television to dialysis machines.

Rezension zu „The Inner History of Devices “
"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
