reviewed Useful Bodies: Humans in the Service of Medical Science in the Twentieth Century on February 26, 2008 Useful Bodies
Would have been better to read this closer to when it was published back in 2000. The author talks extensively about furbies, lego mindstorms, the introduction of the world wide web and virtual reality. If you want history and context for these, then you'll like the book.
The author aluded to how this technology is impacting our kids and their world view (ie, why should they memorize something when the web is available to look it up at any time from their cell phones). I would have enjoyed him discussing this more, but it remained a footnote in what was otherwise a drawn out history lesson on a few select technologies. Those technologies did fill us with awe at one time, but today are a commonplace, and so the book has lost much of the punch it may have had when it was first published.
