[Sca-librarians] readers advisory question

[Johnna Holloway]

My husband the engineering professor says maybe it's
*FutureHype*. The Myths of Technology Change. by Bob Seidensticker 1996.

The older title from the mid 1990's that still gets mentioned is
*Why Things Bite Back: Technology and the Revenge of Unintended 
Consequences

Try and find out where he got the reference from-- review, paper, 
friend, conversation, etc.
Go from there.

I read the question to my husband and he laughed and said
"yeah, it's green and about an inch thick, right?"
