His most widely cited material comes from three books, ''Hacking Cyberspace'' (2001),〔http://www.amazon.com/dp/0813336694〕 which examines the metaphors applied to new technologies, and how those metaphors inform, shape, and drive the implementation of the technology in question; ''Thinking Otherwise: Philosophy, Communication, Technology'' (2007),〔http://www.thepress.purdue.edu/titles/format/9781557534361〕 which investigates the unique quandaries, complications, and possibilities introduced by a form of 'otherness' that veils, through technology, the identity of the 'Other'; and ''The Machine Question: Critical Perspectives on AI, Robots and Ethics'' (2012) 〔http://mitpress.mit.edu/books/machine-question-0〕 which examines whether and to what extent intelligent and autonomous machines of our own making can be considered to have legitimate moral responsibilities and any legitimate claim to moral consideration. This book won "best book of the year" from the National Communication Association's (NCA) Communication Ethics Division.
