The last two decades have seen a massive increase in the scholarly interest in technology, and have provoked new lines of thought in philosophy, sociology and cultural studies. Gilbert Simondon (1924 - 1989) was one of Frances's most influential philosophers in this field, and an important influence on the work of Gilles Deleuze and Bernard Stiegler. His work is only now being translated into English. Chabot's introduction to Simondon's work was published in French in 2002 and is now available in English for the first time. It is the most accessible guide to Simondon's important but often opaque work. Chabot provides an excellent introduction to Simondon, positioning him as a philosopher of technology, and he describes his theory of individuation including his crystalline ontology. He goes on to offer a bridge between these two concerns, exploring how they are related

The aim of the text is to answer the question: how should the thesis of underdetermination be understood in the field of research on technology? What does this thesis help explain? What difficulties can be seen in adopting it? First, I present the context of the thesis and its first formulation in the philosophy of technology. Then I present a case study that illustrates the mechanism reconstructed in the thesis and, at the same time, an argument for its adoption. It is also a model example of an analysis conducted within SCOT (Social Construction of Technology)—the social construction of technology. Then I reconstruct an alternative formulation of the thesis—it is not mutually exclusive with Feenberg's proposal, but in my opinion it can be treated as its specification. Finally, I present the main consequences of adopting this thesis.
