Philosophers from ancient Greece to the present have explored technology&rsquo\;s \;relation to truth.  \;Whether that exploration has been undertaken as part of \;a broader investigation of mimesis or causality\, or whether it has been \;couched in terms of a questioning of Being\, technology is never far from \;the concerns of philosophers.  \;Similarly\, writers of fiction have \;thematized technology and its cultural  \;consequences.  \;Writers ranging from \;Samuel Butler to Aldous Huxley to David Foster Wallace have reacted to \;technological change with varying degrees of alarm.  \;As technology \;continues to proliferate and impact private\, social\, and political life \;across the world\, philosophical and literary attempts to clarify the \;relation between truth\, thought\, and technology are as pressing as ever.
