The Golem at Large: What You Should Know About Technology
The Golem at Large: What You Should Know About Technology
Date: 22 Jan 2007, 19:43
0521012708, Pages 176.

In the very successful and widely discussed first volume in the Golem series, The Golem: What You

Should Know About Science, Harry Collins and Trevor Pinch likened science to the Golem, a creature from

Jewish mythology, a powerful creature which, while not evil, can be dangerous because it is clumsy. In

this second volume, the authors now consider the Golem of technology. In a series of case studies they

demonstrate that the imperfections in technology are related to the uncertainties in science described

in the first volume. The case studies cover the role of the Patriot anti-missile missile in the Gulf

War, the Challenger space shuttle explosion, tests of nuclear fuel flasks and of anti-misting kerosene

as a fuel for airplanes, economic modeling, the question of the origins of oil, analysis of the

Chernobyl nuclear disaster, and the contribution of lay expertise to the analysis of treatments for

AIDS.
