[Air-L] Seeking a short introduction text on technological determinism vs. SCOT

[Carmel Vaisman]

Dear fellows,

I have been struggling with the task of finding a simple short text for
undergraduates that introduces the approaches of technological determinism
(including utopia and dystopia) versus social construction of technology.
Since the theoretical terrain has since been enriched with actor network
theories and post phenomenology and so forth, it has become very hard to
find a text that doesn't complicate this basic framework which fits a
sophomore introductory level course. Any ideas?

Thanks in advance,
