In the late 1960s an eclectic group of engineers joined
the antiwar and civil rights activists of the time in
agitating for change. The engineers were fighting to
remake their profession, challenging their fellow engi-
neers to embrace a more humane vision of technology.
In Engineers for Change, Matthew Wisnioski offers an
account of this conflict within engineering, linking it
to deep-seated assumptions about technology and
American life.
The postwar period in America saw a near-utopi-
an belief in technology’s beneficence. Beginning in the
mid-1960s, however, society —influenced by the anti-
technoiogy writings of such thinkers as Jacques Ellul
and Lewis Mumford — began to view technology in
a more negative light. Engineers themselves were
seen as conformist organization men propping up
the military-industrial complex. A dissident minority
of engineers offered critiques of their profession that
appropriated concepts from technology’s critics. These
dissidents were criticized in turn by conservatives who
regarded them as countercultural Luddites. And yet,
as Wisnioski shows, the radical minority spurred the
professional elite to promote a new understanding of
technology as a rapidly accelerating force that our
institutions are ill-equipped to handle. The negative
consequences of technology spring from its very
nature—and not from engineering’s failures.
“Socio-technologists” were recruited to help soci-
ety adjust to its technology. Wisnioski argues that in
responding to the challenges posed by critics within
their profession, engineers in the 1960s helped shape
our dominant contemporary understanding of techno-
logical change as the driver of history.
