xiv, 282 pages ; 21 cm

Can we define "technology?" -- Does technology control us? -- Is technology predictable? -- How do historians understand technology? -- Cultural uniformity, or diversity? -- Sustainable abundance, or ecological crisis? -- Work : more, or less? Better, or worse? -- Should "the market" select technologies? -- More security, or escalating dangers? -- Expanding consciousness, or encapsulation? -- Not just one future.
