About this book
Reviews
“This book is a timely collection, bringing together a series of insightful contributions addressing questions of the relationship between health, technology and society. It offers a rich and yet concise overview of the field that will be of value to a broad readership. But the book goes well beyond being a compendium of some of the best work in the area. It offers a forward look signposting future areas of research to engage with.” (Professor Ulrike Felt, Head of Department of Science and Technology Studies, University of Vienna, Austria)
