Culture's Engine offers an insightful and penetrating analysis of
the enduring relationship between technology and society. William
Gosling explores in absorbing historical detail how humans have
experienced change through a sequence of technological revolutions,
each giving rise to new social organisation, which in turn
influences the shape and timing of the next such revolution.
Gosling argues that it is through this dialogue that successful
technology sets the direction and pace of all cultural evolution.
The state of technology at any time is the major influence on the
world, and not just the material world. This book then is not a
history of technology, still less of science. It fundamentally
questions how technology and social forces interact, leading to
these successive revolutions and their outcomes.
