The Whale and the Reactor: A Search for Limits in an Age of High Technology

About this book

"The questions he poses about the relationship between technical change and political power are pressing ones that can no longer be ignored and identifying them is perhaps the most a nascent philosophy of technology can expect to achieve at the present time."David Dickson New York Times Book Review "The Whale and the Reactor is the philosophers equivalent of superb public history. In its pages an analytically trained mind confronts some of the most pressing political issues of our day."Ruth Schwartz Cowan Isis
