Winner of the 1993 Ludwik Fleck Prize presented by the Society for Social Studies of Science (4S). Donald MacKenzie follows one line of technology - strategic ballistic missile guidance through a succession of weapons systems to reveal the workings of a world that is neither awesome nor unstoppable. He uncovers the parameters, the pressures, and the politics that make up the complex social construction of an equally complex technology. Donald MacKenzie is Reader in Sociology at the University of Edinburgh.
