We are supposed to live under the rule
of law. Are we moving into an age in which we will live
under the rule of science and scientists, who cannot be
restrained by law? Is civilization losing its bearings
because of the uncontrolled advance of science in every
direction from nuclear weaponry to tinkering with the
human body?
“This truly monumental
work deserves a wide readership, because it
is concerned with nothing less than the survival
of humanity, and the necessity of making the
right use of the awesome new powers that Science,
and its (occasionally ugly) sister Technology
have given us …”
Sir Arthur C.Clarke, Kt, CBE, the noted
futurist in his Foreword.
