Pierre Musso (born 1950) is a French philosopher and historian of technology.

Life

Musso studied philosophy at the École nationale supérieure des postes, télégraphes et téléphones (ENSPTT), before gaining a Ph.D. in political science at University of Paris 1 Panthéon-Sorbonne. Supervised by Lucien Sfez, his thesis dealt with the ideal of the telecommunications network in the thought of Henri Saint-Simon and his followers.

Musso then undertook research at the Centre national d'études des télécommunications (CNET) and led several research departments at France Télécom. He became a lecturer at Paris 1, and is today a professor of Information and Communication Sciences at the University of Rennes 2 and at Télécom Paris.
