This collection of essays uses recent work on literature and science to establish new ways of relating literature and language theory to writings about technology (as distinguished from science). The interdisciplinary character of these essays is further enriched by drawing upon contemporary studies of the philosophy and history of technology, which provide the context for the first essay (Mitcham and Casey). Subsequent essays examine technology from many points of view how technology shapes texts and contexts, as well as how writers shape perspectives on technology. The essays examine texts as divese as seventeenth-century science and twentieth-century children’s literature and spy fiction. Major authors investigated include Chaucer, Blake, Romains, Phychon, and Prigogine.
