Description
Where does culture end and technology begin? Technoscience and Cyberculture argues that technology is culture, saturating our world so that technology has become the dominant discourse in politics, medicine, the media, religion and everyday life itself. Examining the social implications of our technological developments and the ways in which the "truth of science" requires critical investigation, this volume brings cultural studies and science studies into a new and productive focus.
