¿Dónde termina la cultura y empieza la tecnología? Este libro pone de manifiesto que la tecnología es cultura y ha invadido nuestro mundo hasta el punto de haberse convertido en el discurso dominante en politica, medicina, medios de comunicacion, religion e incluso la vida cotidiana. Criticos, escritores y teoricos exploran y desarrollan aqui un nuevo metodo de analisis cultural centrado en la tecnologia y demuestran, a partir de varias cuestiones basicas -¿como se relacionan entre si la tecnologia y la ciencia?, ¿como organizan, orientan e incluso crean el paisaje de la cultura contemporanea y de sus habitantes?-, que si bien cabe distinguir entre tecnologia, ciencia y cultura, las tres estan tan entrelazadas que criticar a una de ellas implica tambien criticar a las otras. El libro, asi, abre un nuevo campo, el del estudio cultural de la ciencia, en el que se investigan fenomenos como la violencia en la cultura estadounidense, el desempleo en el mercado global, etcetera. La ciencia, dicen, no es solo una practica cultural mas, ni tampoco la tecnologia es un simple conjunto de objetos.
