We now see how corporations, designers, retailers, advertisers, and other middle-men influence what a thing can be and how it is made. We see the way goods link into ordinary life as well as vast systems of consumption, economic and political operation. The book is a meditation into the meaning of the stuff in our lives and what that stuff says about us. 606 $aEngineering$vPopular works 615 0$aEngineering 676 $a620 700 $aMolotch$b Harvey Luskin$0276319 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910827920503321 996 $aWhere stuff comes from$91768233 997 $aUNINA
