Aramis, or The Love of Technology

This is an amazing book about the intersection of social and technical systems and how it works, or doesn't. Latour is an outstanding thinker and a writer of equal capability. A glass of brandy and listening to Hayden while reading this work helps to make sense of it.

Daughter needed for school and it was a great price.

good book

Latour's "Aramis" is one of the few books "about" technology that a tech professional can read, can take seriously, and would hen be delighted. Latour dissects a large technical project: he even allows Aramis to speak for itself.

Well, like it or not - you have to read it. Clear books are boring propaganda. Insightful thoughts are never quite clear. For the clear read your bank statement.

Had this as an ebook but much better as a physical book as there is a lot of detail and different layers in the writing. Good book covers a lot of issues which are still relevant today. Good for learning about how to approach large projects.
