Reviews for Heidegger´s Technologies: Postphenomenological Perspectives
"Heidegger's technologies is a versatile and refreshing critique of Heidegger's views on technology.

Without any doubt, Don Ihde's compelling and often ironic reflections will inspire new directions in philosophy of technology."
