Journal: science, technology and human values

Conceptual work about infrastructure and power.

Examples need to be carefully selected.

Literature on large technical systems. Thomas Hews. Book: networks of power. It was a comparison between systems of electricity between Europe and the US. Has a chapter in the social construction of technological systems.

Three volumes by Routledge: district heating coming to town.

Infrastructures are not technical systems, they are socio technical systems.

Mazucato: universities and hospitals are second-order large technical systems that sit on the first order: sewage and water systems.

Schumacher, small is beautiful

Amory Lovins: nuclear == fascism
