The TechnoHuman Condition,Used
Delivery time: 8-12 business days (International)
A provocative analysis of what it means to be human in an era of incomprehensible technological complexity and change.In The TechnoHuman Condition, Braden Allenby and Daniel Sarewitz explore what it means to be human in an era of incomprehensible technological complexity and change. They argue that if we are to have any prospect of managing that complexity, we will need to escape the shackles of current assumptions about rationality, progress, and certainty, even as we maintain a commitment to fundamental human values.Humans have been coevolving with their technologies since the dawn of prehistory. What is different now is that we have moved beyond external technological interventions to transform ourselves from the inside outeven as we also remake the Earth system itself. Coping with this new reality, say Allenby and Sarewitz, means liberating ourselves from such categories as human, technological, and natural to embrace a new technohuman relationship.ContributorsBoris Barbour, Mario Biagioli, Paul S.
