A companion to American technology

"A Companion to American Technology is a groundbreaking collection of original essays that analyze the hard-to-define phenomenon of "technology" in America. Taking a broadly historiographical approach, twenty-one leading scholars explore important features of American technology, including developments in automobiles, television, and computing." "Scholars of American technology, as well as students, journalists, and general readers will find this a compelling look at America's machinery, industry, and technophilic culture."--Jacket.
