Technology's Storytellers: Reweaving the Human Fabric (repost)

Technology's Storytellers documents the emergence of the history of technology as a coherent intellectual discipline. Based on an analysis of nearly 300 articles published in Technology and Culture, it proposes a mode of historical research as a communal rather than an individualistic endeavor -- looking for patterns of consensus in the authors' choice of time periods, geographical locations, and types of technology to study.
