- Examines law and technology as both processes and artifacts endemic to human groups, who have been toolmakers and lawmakers since human history has been recorded.
- Yet, in recent times, development of technological things has outpaced development in the law, bringing about what we might describe as new “design challenges” within the law.
- Considers several disputes around ownership and property, and safety and risk, and offers students a conceptual framework from the social study of science and technology by which to understand technology and the law.
- Focuses on the regulation of “digital labor” and algorithmically convened labor markets, such as Uber.
