Charles, some other suggestions: The critical race and cyberculture literature is where i regularly draw my arguments of 'tech as ideologically neutral' from, since those researchers argue against precisely that perspective. Most of the work is in edited collections and journal special issues: - Tu, Nelson, and Hines "Technicolor" - Alondra Nelson's "AfroFuturism" special issue in Social Work - Kolko, Nakamura, Rodman "Race in Cyberspace" - Silver and Massanari's "Critical Cyberculture Studies" - de la Pena and Vaidhyanathan's "Rewiring the "Nation": The Place of Technology in American Studies" special issue - in American Quarterly - Nakamura and Chow-White "Race after the Internet" for a specifically STS perspective - Pacey (as mentioned earlier) - Marvin (as mentioned earlier) - Michael Adas "Dominance by Design" - Joel Dinerstein "Swinging the Vine" - David Nye "American Technological Sublime" and James Carey's "Communication as Culture" Hope this helps...
