Description
The Whale and the Reactor: A Search for Limits in an Age of High Technology In an age where technological advancements seem limitless, it's essential to consider the consequences of our choices. Langdon Winner's groundbreaking exploration of the political, social, and philosophical implications of technology is more relevant now than ever. This book examines the profound choices we make about the technical systems we build and use, and how these decisions shape our world. Winner argues that technical decisions are, in fact, political decisions, involving fundamental choices about power, liberty, order, and justice. A seminal text in the history and philosophy of science, this new edition includes a new chapter, preface, and postscript by the author.
