This volume brings together the papers presented at the gathering “The Dictionary of Technology, Thirty-Three Years On,” held on November 12^th and 13^th at the Institute for Philosophy and Social Theory. The book sheds light on the little-known circumstances in which the original Dictionary of Technology appeared and why it was publicly decried. Considering technology is the “essence of modernity,” this work, at once philosophical and artistic, and published in the journal Vidici, initiated a range of events and posed the question of impotence of social structures to accept viewpoints different to dominant ones.
