The term "technological fix" should mean a fix provided by
technology--a solution for all of our problems, from medicine and
food production to the environment and business. Instead,
technological fix has come to mean a cheap, quick fix using
inappropriate technology that usually creates more problems than it
solves. This collection sets out the distinction between a
technological fix and a true technological solution.
Bringing together scholars from a variety of disciplines, the
essays trace the technological fix as it has appeared throughout
the twentieth century. Addressing such "fixes" as artificial
hearts, industrial agriculture and climate engineering, these
essays examine our need to turn to technology for solutions to all
of our problems.
