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 the complex interaction of political, cultural, economic, and scientific influences on 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 against reductionism in interpreting technology in a human context, and for acknowledgment of the role of human experience of purpose when it helps to express meaning in technology. - Jacket flap.
