The reader forms an essential and integral part of Course T262 - Man-Made Futures: Design and Technology The first section deals with the sources and effects of technological change in industrial society, with criticisms of modern 'technocratic' society, and with concepts of future 'post-industrial society. The second section is concerned with newly emerging mechanisms for the social control of technological change, such as technology assessment, futures forecasting, and community participation in planning and design. The third section is concerned with the processes of innovation and design and with movements towards such concepts as 'humane' or 'alternative technologies. This collection of readings is presented as a positive step towards a new concept of integrative studies in technology and society. The emphasis of this stimulating survey is on the need to choose appropriate technologies for the future.
