Langdon winner is one among the prolific writers in the area of Science and technology.  His works are predominantly focused on the relationship between technology and politics. His book on 'autonomous technology', tries to understand the bigger implications of the technology itself rather than negating it as the social constructivist do. On the other hand, his major ideas are not opposed to social constructivist. For example, Winner argued that technology encompasses social relationships. But what makes him different from others who study technology is, he argues that particular relationships are manifestations of 'power' or power itself.   Even though Langdon winner negates then the idea of 'Technological determinism', he admits that the panic emerged from 'Autonomous technology' is a truth. But he stresses that it’s the sheer negligence of Humanity regarding what it produced and inability or amnesia regarding his or her agency and responsibilities of what they created.
