The book delves into the relationship between mechanistic views of human bodies and the evolving technologies that reflect these beliefs. It offers insights into how these assumptions about technology have formed and evolved, encouraging readers to critically assess their understanding of technology's role in human experience. By integrating contemporary perspectives on technology and embodied cognition, it reveals the dependence of these beliefs on our comprehension of particular technologies.
