Description
What role do science and technology play in our everyday lives, and how are contemporary societies intimately shaped by expert knowledge? Scientific and technical expertise, now largely understood as the ultimate source of authoritative knowledge, are vital to how our societies operate. This punchy introduction to thinking about science-society relations draws on research and concepts to argue for the importance of knowing. Drawing on diverse global examples including techno-crafting in Colombia, traditional medicine in China and climate activism in the Pacific nations, it demonstrates the ways in which scientific knowing shapes our lives and imaginations, reflecting on the questions this raises for democracy. Accessible to a non-specialist audience, it shows why science and technology are important, we should pay attention to how they are developing, and we, as members of society, have the power to shape this.
