Biotechnology, Patents & Morality
[2.5/5 stars]
I really have no idea where I stand on this one. Feenberg offers a solid critique of technological determinism and essentialism by referencing Ellul and, uh, Heidegger but gets way too bogged down when attempting to discuss technology's role in democracies. Some of the constructivist concepts are cool but while I'm normally all for drinking the Foucault Flavor-Aid the writing on power (and really the whole end of the book) is a convoluted mess of clashing ideas.
