Join us to talk about technology, humanities, and the legacies of great mentors!

This book explores how histories of technology, engineering, and information science can help us better understand history, while also informing how we envision and build more equitable futures. The chapters extend vibrant conversations in the history of technology as well as other fields, including Science and Technology Studies (STS), cybernetic studies, literary studies, development studies, discard studies, engineering ethics, and infrastructure studies. In doing so the authors pay tribute to Ronald R. Kline, one of the leading historians of technology and STS scholars of our era. This book showcases cutting-edge research around the state of technology studies today and its influences across and beyond academic fields.
