How far does reading go? At what point does the act of reading catapult the reader into the seemingly inevitable desire that leads to writing? What is the line that divides reading from writing, and what happens in the process of trying to import the perspective one enjoys on one side of that line onto the other side? The four pieces collected here are meditations on possible approaches to these and other questions related to the relationship shared by the two-fold acts of reading and writing. ... Read more

A roadmap to Techno-LOGYism
Some books are so alive and refresh some of your experience and old memories when reading such that you think the author is alive there talking to you. Technology and Change is a masterpiece. When I first read the book I noticed its date of publish is older than me but I was amazed how beautifully it explains the contemporary real situation in Innovation. Uncertainty, instability and unpredictability which is at the heart of every innovation is a dilemma which scholars in recent decades has wrestled with to capture its dynamics. With notable exceptions such as Latour I think Schon brilliantly shows how Reduction of Uncertainty to Risk, converson of Language of Invention to Language of Investment, too much information to handle, Propose-Dispose ping pong between boss and subordinate and above all Myth of Rationality are underlying platforms of Innovation Projects. With a frank departure from conventional wisdom he pursue change and innovation all the way to an ethics of change.

To sum up, it's a live, notable, and pioneering work which deserves more attention by students of innovation which these days are overwhelmed by more information than they can handle specially at the time of litrature review. ... Read more
