{{a|book review|}}The Nature of Technology: What it is and How it Evolves —Brian Arthur
{{author|Brian Arthur}}’s treatise is a little ponderous but, all the same, is most encouraging in its [[Epistemology|philosophical]] disposition — assuming as it does the “recursivity” of society and technology, rather than holding the (usual) view that one is strictly a product of the other. This is a [[path-dependent]] model for not just {{t|technology}}, but society and even knowledge itself.
