@Dataless interesting. What is a chair then in Adams' view?
There are lots of definitions of technology. Donna Haraway once described technology as basically things that extend the funtions of a human body.
Bernard Stiegler highlighted technology's etymology: tekhne (art/craft) + logos (discourse) — so technology is a discourse on art.
Each definition could offer different answers, to both book and chair.

@ephemeral I expect he’d have said it’s a chair. That said, I’m not saying I necessarily agree or disagree, I just thought it was an interesting place to draw the line.
