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.

David Hakken is Professor of Anthropology and Director of the Policy Center at the SUNY Institute of Technology. He is principal author of Computing Myths, Class Realities (1993) and has written numerous journal articles on work, technology and social change.
