Incredible Anthology

This volume represents an incredible collection of essays from an array of important authors about the philosophy of technology. Reviewing the table of contents alone will make the impression. Unlike other anthologies, this volume has decent margins and is printed on solid paper stock. If you like marking your texts or putting notes in the sidebar, there is enough room to do so, and the leakage between pages is minimal. Additionally, I found the volume to be solidly bound; for research & reading when you're constantly opening & closing the book, this is critical. Additionally, almost every selection has a useful bibliography, thus this is a great introductory volume. The introductions to each section/theme are also well done. If I could edit or assemble a collection, I would want it to be this good.
