      Exploring the impact of modern devices such as TVs, cars, microwaves, and mobile phones, this book delves into their influence on our daily lives and society as a whole. It examines the complex relationships we have with technology and seeks to provide insights into understanding their roles and effects on our behavior and interactions. Through this analysis, the book encourages readers to reflect on their dependence on these devices and the broader implications for contemporary living.

      What Things Do
    • A study of the ethical dilemmas and moral issues surrounding the interaction of humans and technology. Drawing from Heidegger and Foucault, as well as from philosophers of technology such as Don Ihde and Bruno Latour, it locates morality not just in the human users of technology but in the interaction between us and our machines.
