INTRODUCTION -
CHAPTER ONE:TECHNOLOGY AS SOCIAL FACT -
CHAPTER TWO:THE SCALE AND THE REACTOR -
CHAPTER THREE:THOUGH THIS BE MADNESS -
CHAPTER FOUR:APPLICATION -
CONCLUSION.
"Technology exerts a profound influence on contemporary society, shaping not just the tools we use but the environments in which we live. Law, uniquely among social forces, is positioned to guide and constrain the social fact of technology in the service of human flourishing. Yet technology has proven disorienting to law: it presents itself as inevitable, makes a shell game of human responsibility, and daunts regulation. Drawing lessons from communities that critically assess emerging technologies, this book challenges the reflexive acceptance of innovation and critiques the widespread belief that technology is inevitable or ungovernable. It calls for a methodical, coherent approach to the legal analysis of technology-one capable of resisting technology's disorienting qualities-thus equipping law to meet the demands of an increasingly technology-mediated world while helping to unify the field of law and technology itself"-- Provided by publisher.
