Book Description
Computer software (operating systems,web browsers,word processors,etc.) structure our daily lives. Comprising both a user interface and the electronic circuits of the machine it is printed to,software represents a hybrid object at the crossroads of materiality and immateriality. But is it,strictly speaking,a technical object? By examining the status of software against the criteria of philosophy of classic techniques,in particular that of Gilbert Simondon,this book lays the groundwork of a philosophical reflection on this subject. Further,in order to help introduce readers to problematics,lines of code and explanatory schemas have been provided.
