Devices of the Soul

"In this insightful book, author Steve Talbott - software programmer and technical writer turned researcher and editor for The Nature Institute - challenges us to step back and take an objective look at the technology driving our lives. At a time when 65 percent of American consumers spend more time with their PCs than they do with their significant others, according to a recent study, Talbott illustrates that we're forgetting one important thing - our Selves, the human spirit from which technology stems." - book jacket.
