This theory suggest an accurate description of actor's networks instead of an analysis based on a theory - or a specific sociological approach. The inclusion of objects and technology within the sphere of actors' action lays on the idea of hybrids and science as "a social construction" developed in Latour's book "We Have Never Been Modern" (1991)
