What is the relationship between our bodies and our senses and technology? In today's world of blinding technological change, of artificial intelligence and deepfakes and Chat GPT, it is easy to forget that we have always had complicated relations with technology--whether that technology is computers, player pianos, and even eyeglasses. In this wide-ranging and fascinating study, Vanessa Chang takes us on a historical tour of the interactions between our bodies and machines, showing that the advent of new technologies has always been met with varied reactions, from misplaced fear to tragic over-optimism. The result is cultural critique of the highest order and a profound demonstration of the eternal truth that in order to understand the future, we must look to the past --cprovided by publisher. 0aInformation technologyxSocial aspects97710 0aTechnological innovations - History.xHistory. 0aHuman beings - Effect of technological innovations on.xEffect of technological innovations on. 0aTechnology and civilization910848 2lcc 00102lcc4070aTBSbTBSd2026-03-05l0r2026-03-05t1w2026-03-05y1zSOON AVAILABLE c5390d5390
