Good general introduction to Philosophy of Technology

Ferre provides a good introduction to philosophy of technology which is suitable for "non-philosophers". The book starts with gentle description of the main issues in philosophy and go through the various aspects of this area. It is also short and seem to be readable. It also contains an annotated bibiliography, though the age of the book (originally written in 1986) is quite clear.
