I found this rather disappointing. I'm fairly familiar with Latour's ideas (ANT, agency of objects etc.), having read some of his writing and those of others who like his work. I've decided to try and read more of his famous books, and this was the first I came upon. It began well, but soon just seemed to get very repetitive with him belaboring each point. It seems to me that there were some pretty serious flaws in the arguments presented in this book and I remain unconvinced by the value of ANT. Perhaps I'm just dumb, but his points seem to be rather obvious and often seem to be simply 'language games'. Maybe when he wrote this his ideas were really original. I guess I should try the Pasteurization of France before I give up on him!
