N2 - This Little Book is about philosophy. In our research on the PETRAS project,many of the researchers have drawn on different philosophical theoriesto help them to understand some of the difficult relationships between thedigital, physical and connectivity qualities of the Internet of Things (IoT).1In our research, we have had to consider these relationships in terms ofhow they impact privacy, ethics, trust, risk, security, and adoption. So,throughout this book, we present several different philosophical theoriesor strands of thought that help illuminate our research, these are; Thingyness, Hyperobjects, Heterotopias, Respect, Fairness, Ownability, Accelerationism.Because philosophy is so broad and many of its ideas have been aroundfor thousands of years, it can be hard to know how it might apply to somethingas contemporary and technologically focused as the IoT, or to figureout how to get started with that challenge. With this difficulty in mind,the seven chapters in this book each describe how you can use differentaspects of philosophy and theory to think about and understand the IoT.We have written this book in plain English - each of the chapters can beread on their own as a stand-alone, but if you read the whole book, thenthe links between some of the theories and examples will start to becomemore clearly visible.
