SUMMARY
The impact of technology on society is clear and unmistakable. The influence of society on technology is more subtle. The 13 essays in this book draw on a wide array of case studies from cooking stoves to missile systems, from 15thAcentury Portugal to today's AI labs - to outline an original research program based on a synthesis of ideas from the social studies of science and the history of technology. Together they affirm the need for a study of technology that gives equal weight to technical, social, economic, and political questions.Bijker, Wiebe E. is the author of 'Social Construction of Technological Systems New Directions in the Sociology and History of Technology', published 1989 under ISBN 9780262521376 and ISBN 0262521377.
