I'm looking into the arguments for and against technological determinism but all the books I see seem to be in support of the theory. Are there any books that directly argue against the theory?

Well, our nature as a species is responsible for a lot of our values in the first place, but our nature doesn't change, at least, not nearly as fast as our technology. Many of our social dynamics are from our far primate ancestors, and technology doesn't determine those fundamental, primitive things still in us. At best, it modulates them in another direction, perhaps.

Bumping this topic for interest. Also, what books do support the theory?

I can't recall any specific books, but I would highly recommend looking at anthropological texts. The debate over what's the driving force behind civilization (tech, social factors, etc.) is actually a core issue of the field whereas historians generally seem to prefer just looking at technology and warfare as driving factors and focusing on the results over the causes.

If you can find some anthropological figures who had the stance it shouldn't be hard to find some texts written by them or their colleagues. I'd dig into my old college notes if I could, but they were unfortunately lost some time ago.
