In Search of an Integrative Vision for Technology : Interdisciplinary Studies in Information Systems

edited by Sytse Strijbos, Andrew Basden

This book provides a fascinating reading experience for anyone interested in an inquiring relationship between technical progress and the quality of the human condition. It manages to keep a healthier balance between these two complex topics than is found in most publications of the genre. The book also manages to build accessible bridges over the gulf that tends to separate the philosophical language from the 'real' concerns of technologists.
