Arnold Pacey鈥檚 charmingly diverse review of the role of music and aesthetics
in technological progress carries a serious message. Technologists should start
off with the goal of 鈥渃herishing others鈥. Instead they design technologies with
clinical scientific effectiveness, but end up adapting them piecemeal when they turn out to be
dangerous, polluting and noisy. Required reading for any transnational鈥檚 raw
recruits, Meaning in Technology is published by MIT Press,
拢16.95, ISBN 0262161826.
