“A groundbreaking study on the universe of technical objects by one of France’s most important thinkers of the second half of the twentieth century.
There is much we can learn from our technical objects, and while it has been said that humans have an alienating rapport with their technical objects, Gilbert Simondon takes up the task of a true thinker who sees the potential for humanity to uncover life-affirming modes of technical objects whereby we can discover the potentiality for novel, healthful, and dis-alienating rapports with them.”
