Sinossi

What responsibility do the Manhattan Project scientists have for the atomic devastation of Hiroshima? The Krupps scientists for the crematoriums at Auschwitz? Disturbing questions like these are at the heart of this book, a sobering exploration of scientific and intellectual responsibility. In a world in which daily technological developments, from the space shuttle to genetic engineering, raise complex political and economic questions, Technoscientific Angst provides a framework for assessing the social impact and ethical implications of scienctific work.
