NetFuture: Technology and Human Responsibility

Steve Talbott has been writing some of the most intelligent, thoughtful critiques of technology for over ten years in his NetFuture e-mail newsletter (don't take my word for it -- read praise from other people).

He has also published numerous books and articles with collaborators at The Nature Institute. I just read the latest, a short collection of essays, called In the Belly of the Beast: Technology, Nature, and the Human Prospect. You can read all these materials for free online, but I encourage you to contribute by buying the books or making donations.
