Birth Tech explores the rapidly emerging technologies reshaping human reproduction, fertility, and gestation, examining how scientific innovation is beginning to transform one of the most intimate and socially consequential aspects of human life. From assisted reproductive technologies and fertility diagnostics to artificial wombs, synthetic gestation, and data-driven matchmaking systems, the book traces the expanding ecosystem now forming around birth itself.Rather than approaching fertility as a lifestyle issue or a clinical handbook, Birth Tech treats reproduction as a technological system. It situates modern fertility tools within a wider framework of biotechnology, platform economics, medical infrastructure, ethics, and long-term demographic change. The book considers how advances in automation, artificial intelligence, materials science, and biomedical engineering are converging to challenge long-standing assumptions about pregnancy, parenthood, and biological limitation.Written in a reflective, analytical style, the book moves fluidly between current commercial technologies and speculative developments that are moving rapidly from theory into early implementation. Topics include the evolution of IVF and fertility preservation, the rise of 'femtech' platforms, emerging ectogenesis research, and the ethical pressures created when reproduction becomes partially decoupled from the human body.Birth Tech is intended for readers interested in the future of medicine, technology, and society rather than prescriptive guidance. It will appeal to those working or studying in biomedical engineering, health technology, policy, ethics, and investment, as well as general readers seeking a serious, accessible examination of how technological progress may redefine birth in the decades ahead.

    About 25 years ago, the first developments of ANT (Actor-Network Theory) took place, but it wasn’t until much later that researchers began to take it seriously. In the late 1990s, ANT began to take hold in the scientific community as a new and exciting approach to socio-technical research and social theory. Actor-Network Theory and Technology Innovation: Advancements and New Co...
