Description

Technology permeates almost every dimension of our lives.

But who controls technological development? Can technology cause social inequality? And how will technology continue to affect lives in the digital era?

Technology and Social Power provides a fresh examination of the role of technology in our society.

Bringing together critical, classical and contemporary social theories, it fully examines everything you need to know about the sociology of technology.

From the invention of the modern toothbrush to the design of Google, the book uses relevant examples to give useful insights into the social dimension of everyday technology.

With clear definitions of key terms alongside a well-balanced approach to the most important empirical and theoretical work in the field, this book provides a clear and thorough account of the subject.

Making complex ideas accessible, it is invaluable reading for all students seeking to understand the role of technology in our society today, and its likely impact in the future.
