- The book was the culmination of 6 years of work, it is a 192-page single authored monograph. The book offers an analysis of how to think about technological hype and the impact of technologies before, rather than after, the fact. It provides essential intermediary work between media studies and the sociology of science and technology. The book emerged from ideas developed during European research consortia, funded through the FP7 programme of European Funding. Interviews include scientists, technology R&D actors, artists, and policy makers. Media and document analysis ranged through news and print media, film, advertising, and digital media platforms.
