The laws of technology and the technology of law

Abstract

This article maps responses to the question of law and technology. While there is much literature that considers law and technology, deeper connections have been underappreciated. In particular, the general and historical dimension of the legal engagement with technology, the cultural and social mediations between law and technology, and the technology of law itself have been neglected. Through mapping where these connections have been made, the following contributions to this special issue of the GLR on ʻThe Laws of Technology and the Technology of Lawʼ can be appreciated.
