We like to believe that progress is always noble — that human ingenuity pushes us ever forward. But history tells a darker story.

From Nazi doctors dissecting children in the name of genetics, to American scientists tracking Black men's slow deaths for "research," to military tests that turned quiet islands into ghost towns, the real history of science is often a ledger of cold ambition weighed against ruined lives.

*The Crime of Creation* peels back the bright veneer of discovery to reveal the human costs hidden underneath. It is a journey through moral failures, chilling experiments, and the quiet bureaucratic choices that let cruelty masquerade as curiosity.

Haunting, provocative, and uncomfortably relevant, this book will change the way you look at every bright breakthrough — and make you wonder what hidden prices we still pay today.
