The Transformative Capacity of New Technologies: A Theory of Sociotechnical Change

The Transformative Capacity of New Technologies explores the questions:

• how and to what extent do socioeconomic structures, institutions, and actors change under the influence of new technologies?
• how do they react to technology-induced pressures to change?
• what patterns do they adopt?

The book provides practical tools for analyzing and classifying exceptional periods of substantial socio-technical change.
