Rosenberger, R: Distracted A Philosophy of Cars and Phones

"Ambitious and daring, Distracted is brilliantly written, and it pulls off the fine line between scholarly rigor and readability. Applying a philosophical arsenal, Robert Rosenberger works to shift our intuitions about phone usage in cars. The range of scholarly references is astounding: legal scholarship, policy, cellphone use, psychology, cognition, behavior, and an encounter at the end with moral theory. This is philosophy of technology at its most productive and valuable."-Robert P. Crease, author of The Leak: Politics, Activists, and Loss of Trust at Brookhaven National Laboratory

"The prominent philosopher Robert Rosenberger has written an absolutely brilliant, exciting, thorough, and well-researched book that addresses issues of distraction and driving that will engage both the general public and academics. A treasure trove of empirical studies, Distracted innovatively broadens the postphenomenological spectrum and offers a profound philosophical alternative to the cognitive theories that have dominated distraction research."-Cathrine Hasse, author of Posthumanist Learning: What Robots and Cyborgs Teach us About Being Ultra-social
