Computer simulations help advance climatology, astrophysics, and
other scientific disciplines. They are also at the crux of several
high-profile cases of science in the news. How do simulation
scientists, with little or no direct observations, make decisions
about what to represent? What is the nature of simulated evidence,
and how do we evaluate its strength? Aimee Kendall Roundtree
suggests answers in Computer Simulation, Rhetoric, and the
Scientific Imagination. She interprets simulations in the sciences
by uncovering the argumentative strategies that underpin the
production and dissemination of simulated findings. She also
explains how subjective and social influences do not diminish
simulations' virtue or power to represent the real thing. Along the
way, Roundtree situates computer simulations within the scientific
imagination alongside paradoxes, thought experiments, and
metaphors. A cogent rhetorical analysis, Computer Simulation,
Rhetoric, and the Scientific Imagination engages scholars of the
rhetoric of science, technology, and new and digital media, but it
is also accessible to the general public interested in debates over
hurricane preparedness and climate change.
