Multifaceted and Comprehensive
This edited book is an excellent addition to any collection of works concerning cities in the electronic age. Each chapter covers topics that provide insight and new ways of examining our ever changing urbanenvironment. The references cited also provide a springboard for furtherreadings on each topic. Cities in the Telecom Age: The Fracturing of Geographies
I have not finished this book quite yet but felt it deserved a quick note to give everyone a "head-up"! If you read any one book today for an insight into where technology is taking us - THIS IS THE ONE! It tiesthe internet and telecom together and explains in very studied ways wherewe were 10 or 15 years ago, where we are today, and where we are headed.Technology changes daily, so this book may become somewhat dated quickly,but it will be easy to update. ...

Fascinating and timely--a wonderful find!
Hopkins asks some of the most important questions that we, as a culture, are currently facing.The social and ethical issues related to technology and gender need our attention, and this collection is the only book on thistopic I have been able to find.I highly recommend it!

The best single source concerning gender and technology...
Sex/Machine is by far the best single source concerning gender and technology.This book collects the most stimulating and important essays in this area, and unlike many edited volumes, contains an introductoryessay which is by itself worth the price of the book because of theinsights it brings to these issues.Elegantly crossing multiple academicdisciplines--from philosophy of technology, to medical ethics, to womensstudies, gender theory and cultural studies, to law (among others), PatrickHopkins has assembled a collection of the most provocative writingconcerning the interactions between technologies and genders.The essaysin this edited volume explore the history of technologies and gender, andhow technology can shore up traditional and problematic gender roles (e.g.,pectoral implants to make men appear more "macho", andtechnologies that make it possible for parents to know, and potentiallyselect, the sex of their children before they are born).More interestingto me, though, are the selections that explore ways technologies underminetraditional ideas of gender.The sections I found most thought-provokingwere the essays in Part IV on the issues (among others) concerningtranssexuals and medical technology, in Part V on computers andcyberspace/cybersex, and in Part IV on cyborgs--bodies such as that of theBorg on Star Trek that are such interminglings of so-called"hardware" (machine) and "wetware" (biology) thatgender no longer has any meaning.I'm going to use this book in a coursein gay and lesbian history and philosophy, but I could see it being used incourses in medical ethics, philosophy of technology, womens studies, andgender and cultural studies.Perhaps the best feature of this book is thatit is extremely readable--in addition to classrooms, it will make greatreading for a book club, or for anyone interested in sex, gender, andtechnology. ...
