- Pax Technica is a book length manuscript published by Yale University Press in 2015. Engineers working on the Internet of Things actively design technologies that violate our sense of privacy—and their own. How does deviance arise and get institutionalized among communities of engineers? Pax Technica is based in several years of ethnographic fieldwork with engineers in Seattle and San Francisco, and with the policy makers, government officials and technocrats who try to regulate industry. The first interviews were done in 2009, and extended fieldwork with communities of engineers and regulators was needed to investigate organizational cultures at the necessary depth.
