Review # 1 was written on 2008-03-31 00:00:00 Peter Kranz An excellent introduction to the topic, as well as being a thoroughly convincing argument in its own right. The author had a slight tendency toward sociologist jargonspeak, but I also had the impression it was less of a problem here than with some of his colleagues. It made me want to learn more about the issue, which is also good.

Review # 2 was written on 2019-08-03 00:00:00 Eric Johnson [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.
