Pilot Society and the Energy Transition “This important book interrogates scholarship on sustainability transitions with insights from Science and Technology studies (STS) by focusing on pilot projects. The analysis is both critical towards dominant paradigms, and refreshingly constructive in the sense that it describes new ways of thinking about innovation practice and technology policy. The book urges us to look beyond technological solutionism, to examine how the energy transition also requires experimentation and even transformation in social domains. Pilot Society is a valuable contribution to discussions about how to make energy transitions just, fair and more humane, and it will be an important resource for students and scholars alike. Highly recommended!” —Benjamin K. Sovacool, University of Sussex and Aarhus University “The book provides a very useful review and knowledge synthesis of recent research and sets the work of the authors and their colleagues in a broader context. It is well-written, enjoyable to read and takes scholarship forwards in two ways: by presenting a clearly articulated perspective on pilots/demonstrations; and by providing a thorough review of literature on pilot projects from a broad perspective of how they are funded, imagined and enacted.” —Patrick Devine-Wright, University of Exeter
