Aramis

The book tells the story of Aramis, a technological project that failed, through multiple perspectives including those of an engineer, a professor, company executives, and the technology itself.

It combines elements of a detective novel, a scholarly treatise, and a reproduction of original archival documents.

Latour's analysis merges science and technology studies with narrative, offering insights into the sociotechnical domain and engineering practices, and pleading for a better integration of technology and humanism.
