商品簡介
Mackenzie investigates computer software as a social object and cultural process and considers its role in contemporary communication. His account diverges from a general sociology of technology in that it highlights the historical, material specificity of code as a shifting nexus of relations, forms and practices. Particular attention is paid throughout to the concept of agency as it applies to software producers and users. Makenzie is affiliated with the Institute for Cultural Research, Lancaster U., UK.
