This volume is not about artificial intelligence but about how material culture shapes the way people think and behave. A former and current fellow at the McDonald Institute for Archeological Research, respectively, note that Appadurai's similarly-titled The Social Life of Things (1986) was among the first to challenge neglect of the interaction between people and things, aka the biographical dimension of artifacts. In 11 chapters derived from a 2006 McDonald Institute symposium, international scholars in the social and cognitive sciences, art, and philosophy present case studies relating to the extended mind hypothesis that posits that mental states/processes, e.g., memory, creativity, religious thought, have co-evolved with elements of the external environment.
