To the general public, the technoscientific laboratory is a mysterious place. From it can flow knowledge about the existence of arcane entities, like the Higgs boson, or recipes for life-saving products, such as cures for cancer. To scientists and engineers, it represents endless possibilities for transformative research, discovery, and progress that have the power to enlighten and shape our collective futures. For politicians and the public, it often appears–as the stronghold of science–to be equally a source of elitist self-interest, always asking for more money, and democratic disruption, demanding that its principles be taught in schools and that economic activities be constrained by its predictions even when they conflict with popular beliefs and consumer preferences. The laboratory has a unique capacity to unite and divide. In the public sphere, the laboratory is subject to a confederacy of descriptors: veiled, inaccessible, other-worldly, threatening, anti-religious, fascinating, god-like, awe-inspiring, progressdriving, and potentially life-saving. New efforts to deal with technoscience and its problematic social contexts by means of methodologies for civil cooperation in the lab itself are explored in Early Engagement and New Technologies: Opening up the Laboratory. Twelve contributions by 20 authors from 6 countries analyze and critically reflect on five innovative approaches to early engagement: constructive technology assessment (CTA), value-sensitive design (VSD), midstream modulation (MM), the network approach for moral evaluation (NAME), and political technology assessment (PTA). The core of the book simply presents the five methodologies by scholars who have been among their leading developers and practitioners. Arie Rip and Douglas KR Robinson introduce CTA, and in doing so illustrate its potential for enhancing the research space in a burgeoning scientific field like nanoscience. The resultant nanotechnologies inspire widespread optimism about their inherent promise, but also elicit significant trepidation from stakeholders concerned about unintended consequences and possible negative impacts. CTA involves the insertion of a social scientist or other analyst into the R&D environment, and it incorporates wide-ranging opportunities for collaboration, critical assessment, and analysis. The protected space that has been the nanoscience lab evolves into a space for learning and collaboration that embraces cross-disciplinary consideration of implications and trajectories of nanotechnology developments. The result is a more reflexive laboratory that becomes sensitive to, and anticipatory of, societal implications and adaptability issues. Nanoscientists and social scientists take on collective responsibility for lab outputs. In the end, technological outputs are developed for people. With this in mind, Batya Friedman, Peter H. Kahn Jr., and Alan Borning explore VSD, which seeks to account for human values throughout the technology development process, emphasizing the need to be both principled
