Where is Phil Agre? What would it mean to look for him?
Philip Agre, author of Computation and Human Experience and the many-inspiring essay “Toward a critical technical practice”, and associate professor in the Information Studies department at UCLA, has been reported missing (UCLA-PD bulletin here).
I have not met Agre, but I would like to. “Toward a critical technical practice” was inspiring for me and quite a few people that I know (as well as people I don’t know, but look up to).
