Introduces theories and debates about current and future trajectories of science and technology. Topics include: the concept of 'technoscience' and its uses; debates concerning the links between the laboratory and the world; the claimed collapse of distinctions between 'subject' and 'object', 'natural' and 'social', and 'science' and 'technology'; hard science fiction as precursor to futurology, and attempts at formal forecasting schemes. Topics are framed by consideration of two apparently opposed emerging trends in technoscience analysis: various models of 'social constructionism' versus the 'new naturalism', including evolutionary, complexity, emergence, and game theory.
