Narratives And Spaces: Technology and the Construction of American Culture - Paperback

by David E. Nye (Author)

This book examines how photography, the railroad, electricity, space flight and the computer became central, yet often contradictory, parts of the way Americans construct and narrate their culture. This is a significant contribution to American cultural history, and like David Nye's previous books, is written to be accessible to a wide audience.
