Review of Habits of the High Tech Heart I picked up Schultze's "Habits of the High-Tech Heart" , and I couldn't even make it past the Forward (NOT written by Schultze, but by Jean Bethke Elshtain) before pausing to rant about it . It had so many common arguments, warnings, and assumptions implied that I had to write Review of the Forward (Habits of the High-Tech Heart) This is not a normal kind of review. I am reporting "as I read", in much the same way as students might discuss a book in literature class. I may well be forced to retract assumptions and identify places where I had jumped the gun. This is just as in conversation, when somebody begins to state a case. With a prior understanding that I will hear more as the exploration unfolds, I will also "jump in" and say "now wait a minute", or ask a question, some of which may warrant a "I'm getting to that" reply, and some will be debate of a point that is being driven. Let the chips fall where they may. Schultze Preface | Intro: Identifying the Techno-Moral Crisis  comment [] 1:40:07 PM
