Conclusion. 330 $aScience, Technology and Society: An Introduction provides students with an accessible overview of the interdisciplinary field of Science and Technology Studies (STS). The discipline breaks down traditional conceptions of knowledge as universal, neutral and ahistorical, and takes a more critical approach to science and technology as social embedded phenomena. This comprehensive textbook makes use of unique examples and case studies to illustrate theoretical debates and concepts. In addition, the reader acquires a unique vision of contemporary issues (such as the power of algorithms, the mystification of fake news, the role of experts within the decision-making process, for example). Each chapter incorporates pedagogically rich features, including interactive discussion points to be used individually or in class as prompts for debate. 606 $aScience and civilization 606 $aTechnology and civilization$xForecasting 615 0$aScience and civilization. 615 0$aTechnology and civilization$xForecasting. 676 $a303.483 700 $aGobo$b Giampietro$0142123 702 $aMarcheselli$b Valentina 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910640387703321 996 $aScience, technology and society$93362778 997 $aUNINA
