In the midst of apparent chaos, a new worldview is emerging, one that recognizes the interconnectedness of everyone and everything on the planet.

Using reviews of special reports and personal interviews with team members of recent National Science Foundation-sponsored assessments, the authors have assembled an eight-step functional strategy for conducting technology assessments.
