Book Overview
In previous books Arnold Pacey has written about the role of ideas and ideals in the creation of technology, about the global history of technology and about how the complex interaction of political, cultural, economic and scientific influences determine the course of technological practice. In Meaning in Technology, he explores how an individual's sense of purpose and meaning in life can affect the shape and use of technology. Stressing that there is no hierarchy of meaning in technology, he argues that reductionism in interpreting technology in a human context, and for acknowledgement of the role of the human experience of purpose when it helps to express meaning in technology.
