One of my favorite exhibits at the Musêe des Arts et Métiers in Paris was Vaucanson's & Jacquard's punch card looms. Good to remember that we owe computers to the ARTS! #HPS #sciart #histtech #STS

Author copies have arrived! In The Broken Machine, I explore what happens when our technologies break. Drawing on five episodes from the modern Atlantic World, I argue that breakdowns have historically helped define who belongs to the social order and who's outside it. #histtech #histsci #HistSTM
