I’ve finished reading this book.

Laboratory Life: The Social Construction of Scientific Facts by Bruno Latour and Steve Woolgar (1979).

An anthropological study of a scientific laboratory at the Salk Institute. My favorite book in Science and Technology Studies. A holy book in the STS and anthropology tradition.
