Listen Later

This Book, Game Changer: The Technoscientific Revolution in Sports, examines the intricate relationship between sports, athletes' bodies, and technological advancements. It analyzes how technoscience, including equipment like swimsuits, shoes, and bicycles, shapes athletic performance and challenges traditional notions of skill and natural ability. The text explores controversies surrounding performance-enhancing technologies, the complexities of sex and gender identification in sports, and the evolving landscape of anti-doping efforts. Ultimately, it argues for a reconceptualization of athletic achievement as a product of both human endeavor and technological influence, moving beyond the simplistic body-versus-machine dichotomy.
