Review: The Social Shaping of Technology

User Review  - Mark Hawker - Goodreads

A good introduction to the social shaping of technology with examples from production, reproduction and destruction. The focus is primarily on systems and actor-network theory with very little on social constructivism although there is a 3-page chapter dedicated to it. Read full review
