Review # 1 was written on 2008-06-15 00:00:00 Kurt Leeper I have actually read this book AND took the class "Philosophy of Technology" from Andy Feenberg at SDSU. The book is hard to understand if you aren't familiar with the "Frankfurt School"(ie Horkheimer, Habermas, Adorno, and Marcuse). You should also read and understand Marx, Georg Lukacs, Antonio Gramsci, and Substantive Theory. Feenberg is considered a world authority on the critical theory of technology, and a few of his books are published by Oxford Press. I was a mediocre student and received a C-. I did find the topic interesting, but it was tough going at times. I recommend starting with an introductory course, but don't take it from Andy unless you're prepared to get serious, otherwise his brain will crush you like a tin can.
