This highly original work presents laboratory science in a
deliberately skeptical way: as an anthropological approach to the
culture of the scientist. Drawing on recent work in literary
criticism, the authors study how the social world of the laboratory
produces papers and other "texts,"' and how the scientific vision
of reality becomes that set of statements considered, for the time
being, too expensive to change. The book is based on field work
done by Bruno Latour in Roger Guillemin's laboratory at the Salk
Institute and provides an important link between the sociology of
modern sciences and laboratory studies in the history of
science.
