Review "Batteau covers the material well, devising a broad palette from which he selects the hues to paint the picture of technology and culture in an engaging, balanced manner. Students, who often think they know more about the topic than they do, will never think about technology in the same way again." --Jerome W. Crowder, University of Houston"Technology and Culture showcases the ability of cultural anthropologists to fashion penetrating critiques of industrial societies." --Technology and Culture"The author's mission is to integrate values, networks, evolution, diffusion, and identity of technology and culture in order to increase knowledge about them while beginning to imagine a post-technological society where humanity is technology s master.

OK for beginners
I had to read this for my senior seminar class, and at that point a lot of these were "no brainers" that we had heard a lot about before. Great introduction if you are starting out, or need a reference book, but if you already have your degree it's ok. It's also REALLY dry in my opinion.
