Summary
Richard Sclove: Democracy and technology
This eye-opening book describes how modern technologies—such as computers, automobiles, machine tools, hybrid crops, nuclear reactors, and more—contribute to nagging social problems ranging from the continued subordination of women and workers to widespread political disengagement. Engineers, manufacturers and policy makers rarely consider these consequences. Arguing that a revitalized democratic politics can and should replace conventional economic reasoning as the basis for technology decisions, Richard Sclove makes clear how the general public can be actively involved in all stages of technological decision-making, from assessment and policy-making to research and development.
