Julian Orr's "Talking About Machines" describes in detail the *circumrational work* Xerox field repair technicians do to keep high-tech office machinery running.
Outstanding case study in how rationality works (and doesn't) in the real world.

Yes, a funny similarity there! I'm using breakfast as a major running example in the meta-rationality book. A highly esoteric topic! (Almost entirely unstudied by Deep Thinkers; much low-hanging fruit!)

You’d probably enjoy Orr’s book, I think, since you like tinkering with things
