{{Short description|System or network of enormous proportions or complexity}} {{More citations needed|date=December 2009}} A '''large technical system''' ('''LTS''') is a system or network of enormous proportions or complexity. The study of LTSs is a subdiscipline of history of science and technology.
The book ''Rescuing Prometheus'' by Thomas P. Hughes documents the development of four such systems, including the Boston central artery tunnel and the Internet.
