These timely and penetrating essays in the philosophy of technology employ the tools of postphenomenology and pragmatism to explore what media are and what they do. Advancing the work of Marshal McLuhan and Don Ihde, they offer crucial insights into how we are to live in an era when virtually everything mediates our experience.
