Summary of The Whale and the Reactor by Langdon Winner

A summary of whales and reactors by Langdon Winner (pp.ix - 39, 99 - 200). The winners implicitly stated that they wanted to add their books to the list of amazingly short works that can be called "Technical Philosophy" (including Marx and Heidegger). His work mainly concerns the political and social aspects of this philosophy. In this case, he also looks at the language and determines the extent to which the state-of-the-art high-tech world is currently being processed.

Langdon Winner is a political theorist who focused on social and political issues surrounding modern technology changes. He is the author of autonomous technology and is studying "technical runaway" in modern social thinking, "whale and reactor: exploring the limits of high-tech era", and democratic editing society. Winner, who was named "Writer of Political Science in the Technical Field" at Wall Street Journal, was born and raised in Obibisco, San Luis, California. He won B.A., M.A. Political science doctor at the University of California, Berkeley, focusing on political theory

Langdon Winner is head of the Department of Humanities and Social Sciences at the Department of Science and Technology at Troyesler Institute of Technology in Thomas Phelan, New York. His work focuses on social and political issues surrounding modern technological change. He is a pioneering work (author) of Autonomous Technology (1978) and investigates the concept of classical articles, "Technical Runaway" and "Whale and Reactor: Extreme Search of High Tech Era" (1986) It is. Regardless of the intention behind that invention, we believe that technology brings about a specific social impact by its nature (Dedalus, 109, No. 1, 1980).

In 1980, Langdon Winner wrote a subtle view on how politically brief the cultural objects are. The ability of the winner to concentrate on technology is either conscious means to set the ideal state or strengthening existing power relevance. Of course, people can discuss the evaluation of the winners, but for detailed analysis of the relationship between technology and politics, it is correctly regarded as a classic in the field of science and technology research. However, many people do not know other studies of the winner, so he warns of the result of misunderstanding technical social analysis.
