AB - LAW, INNOVATION AND TECHNOLOGY, 2017 VOL. 9, NO. 1, 154–157 BOOK REVIEW The Ethics of Invention: Technology and the Human Future, by Sheila Jasanoff, London & New York, WW Norton & Co, 2016, 306 pp, $26.95 (hbk), ISBN 978-0-393-07899-2 Most lawyers interested in the relationships between technology and law will be familiar with Sheila Jasanoff’s extraordinarily impressive body of work. She is a leading scholar in the science and technology studies (STS) movement, and has pioneered work on the relationships between technology and law and regulation. This new book, the ‘primary purpose’ of which is described as being ‘to examine the complex relationships between our technologies, our societies, and our insti- tutions, and the implications of those relationships for ethics, rights and human dignity’ (7), is as thought-provoking as ever. It is wide-ranging, discussing human and agricultural biotechnology, information and communications technology, the challenges of big data and many other pressing issues, and highlights the funda- mentally intertwined nature of law and technology. This book demonstrates the potential of a broad overview of technology and law, embracing the challenge pre- sented by the diversity of different technological and jurisdictional contexts and cultures, drawing out common themes and challenges.
