Knowing Machines: Essays on Technical Change

Publication date: 1998
Ranging from broad inquiries into the roles of economics and sociology in the explanation of technological change to an argument for the possibility of ""uninventing"" nuclear weapons, this selection of Donald MacKenzie's essays provides a solid introduction to the style and the substance of the sociology of technology.

The essays are tied together by their explorations of connections (primarily among technology, society, and knowledge) and by their general focus on modern ""high"" technology. They also share an emphasis on the complexity of technological formation and fixation and on the role of belief (especially self-validating belief) in technological change."
