Western Technoscience offers an engaging and witty introduction to science and technology studies, seamlessly integrating history, philosophy, and sociology. Nathan Kowalsky encourages readers to question standard narratives about the objectivity of science and the inevitability of technological progress without falling into skepticism and distrust of these important pillars of the modern world. The book immerses readers in the active process of thinking critically about science and technology, while also illustrating how knowledge of the history of these fields can guide us when encountering new developments and issues.
