The German abandonment of nuclear power represents one of the most
successful popular revolts against technocratic thinking in modern
times-the triumph of a dynamic social movement, encompassing a
broad swath of West Germans as well as East German dissident
circles, over political, economic, and scientific elites. Taking on
Technocracy gives a brisk account of this dramatic historical
moment, showing how the popularization of scientific knowledge
fostered new understandings of technological risk. Combining
analyses of social history, popular culture, social movement
theory, and histories of science and technology, it offers a
compelling narrative of a key episode in the recent history of
popular resistance.
