520 1  "In The Second Self, Sherry Turkle looks at the computer 
       not as a "tool," but as part of our social and 
       psychological lives; she looks beyond how we use computer 
       games and spreadsheets to explore how the computer affects
       our awareness of ourselves, of one another, and of our 
       relationship with the world. "Technology," she writes, 
       "catalyzes changes not only in what we do but in how we 
       think." First published in 1984, The Second Self is still 
       essential reading as a primer in the psychology of 
       computation. This twentieth anniversary edition allows us 
       to reconsider two decades of computer culture - to 
       (re)experience what was and is most novel in our new media
       culture and to view our own contemporary relationship with
       technology with fresh eyes. Turkle frames this classic 
       work with a new introduction, a new epilogue, and 
       extensive notes added to the original text." "Turkle talks
       to children, college students, engineers, AI scientists, 
       hackers, and personal computer owners - people confronting
       machines that seem to think and at the same time suggest a
       new way for us to think - about human thought, emotion, 
       memory, and understanding. Her interviews reveal that we 
       experience computers as being on the border between 
       inanimate and animate, as both an extension of the self 
       and part of the external world. Their special place 
       betwixt and between traditional categories is part of what
       makes them compelling and evocative. In the introduction 
       to this edition, Turkle quotes a PDA user as saying, "When
       my Palm crashed, it was like a death. I thought I had lost
       my mind." Why we think of the workings of a machine in 
       psychological terms - how this happens, and what it means 
       for all of us - is the ever more timely subject of The 
       Second Self."--Jacket.
