| description | This article suggests that there is scope for more cross-fertilization between the sociology of work and social studies of science and technology (STS). The essay begins by outlining the key insights associated with STS. It then considers how a more nuanced analysis of the mutual shaping of technology & society might inform studies of the impact of ICTs on work & employment. The final section illustrates how treating technology as a culture helps to explain the gendered nature of jobs & the complex relationship between humans & machines. Indeed, there are signs that cyber-culture may be modifying the character of labour in the digital economy. References.
