""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
