Scenario

When book clubs split between technical and social approaches to technology history

Our book club chose to work through technology's complete history together but half of us want to discuss social implications while the other half just want to understand how things actually worked and our meetings have become tense instead of exploratory.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen
