Drawing on the sociology of scientific and technical knowledge and on actor-network theory, Mort recounts how the Trident program was stabilized in the United Kingdom and brought into "successful" production. She uncovers the nature of this success by retelling unofficial histories of Trident, of production roads not taken, and of potential technological "distractions." The production of Trident, she shows, was not inevitable but contingent and problematic.Using material from interviews and local texts, Mort explores the emergence of a counternetwork in the form of a workers' campaign for alternative technologies. She develops concepts of "disenrollment" and "absent intermediaries," in which redundant workers and marginalized technologies serve to discipline and reinforce the dominant network as production shrinks. She also examines the maintenance of the barrier between the technical and the social/political in this context. The management of uncertainties within the Trident production program emerges as critical to its successful completion. 001386461 588__ $$aOCLC-licensed vendor bibliographic record. 001386461 61010 $$aUnited States.$$bNavy$$xProcurement. 001386461 61010 $$aGreat Britain.$$bRoyal Navy$$xProcurement. 001386461 650_0 $$aTrident (Weapons systems)$$xDesign and construction. 001386461 650_0 $$aMilitary-industrial complex$$zUnited States. 001386461 650_0 $$aMilitary-industrial complex$$zGreat Britain. 001386461 653__ $$aSCIENCE, TECHNOLOGY & SOCIETY/General 001386461 655_0 $$aElectronic books 001386461 852__ $$bebk 001386461 85640 $$3MIT Press$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=https://doi.org/10.7551/mitpress/1693.001.0001?locatt=mode:legacy$$zOnline Access through The MIT Press Direct 001386461 85642 $$3OCLC metadata license agreement$$uhttp://www.oclc.org/content/dam/oclc/forms/terms/vbrl-201703.pdf 001386461 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:1386461$$pGLOBAL_SET 001386461 980__ $$aBIB 001386461 980__ $$aEBOOK 001386461 982__ $$aEbook 001386461 983__ $$aOnline
