Mother's taxi
Going through books I bought when I was interested in Technology, Society and Mass Communication. One of the intersections is the study of the history and philosophy of science. At the time, it was the beginning of the Science Wars.
It was time to look how science and technology was made. Some argument can be made that some of the critical thinking lead to a distrust of the value of the output of science. Maybe it leads to the situation we are in now.
Regardless of where you fall on that, this book is part of that lineage. More coherent than the book of essays that I read recently. It had more humour and stretched a bit more. Did that make me take it less seriously? I don't know.
It is always odd to see books that are current in the internet years after. Some of the predictions or the analysis that made sense at the time, just doesn't hold up. Science fiction isn't about the future but about the current situation. This book was also of its time. It does have some food for thought in terms of thinking about how the science sausage is made but I'm not sure there is enough for students or folks interested in where we are now.
Of course, for me, it is a look back at what the debates were back then and to reflect on how those debates changed or resolved. So, for me, this was nostalgic and fun.
