How Technologies Harm

With the increasing influence of digital technologies on society, this timely book examines the ways modern technologies can adversely influence human perception and behaviour.

Description

Technologies contribute to harms in a variety of ways, but can we ever say they are harmful in-and-of-themselves?

How Technologies Harm offers a new way to understand how technologies, while not intrinsically harmful, are laden with values and dispositions that can contribute to negative outcomes. Building on insights from postphenomenology, realist social theory and the philosophy of action, it provides a framework for examining technology-harm relations: relations with technology that are harmful by virtue of what they contribute to bringing about.

This book is for anyone seeking to design, regulate, research, or simply use technology in a way that prioritises well-being.
