Dear all, I am trying to think of a readings list on technology and society. I want to have a bit of a bias towards communication, but that it not the only technology. I have put together the following list. The two areas that I realize I don't have much on is steam technology (is there a book similar to Eisenstein for steam?) and transport/automobilism. These are mostly books. Key articles are also of interest. My current list (starting with the older technologies) is as follows: · The Printing press as a agent of change, Eisenstein · Shaping the day, Glennie and Thrift · Latitude, Sobel · The Victorian internet, Standage · The Control Revolution, Beniger · Technics and civilization, Mumford · Electrifying America: Social meanings of a new technology, David Nye · When old technologies were new, Marvin · The social construction of technical systems, Bijker · America Calling, Fischer · Crabgrass Frontier, Jackson · Virtual communities, Rheingold · The rise of the network society, Castells · 6 Degrees, Watts · Taken for grantedness (maybe New Tech, New Ties), Ling · Configuring the User as Everybody: Oudshoorn, Rommes, Stinestra · Sociology beyond societies, Urry · In the Age of the Smart Machine, Zuboff · Play between worlds, Taylor · Where the action is, Dourish -- Rich L.
