getAbstract Summary: Get the key points from this book in less than 10 minutes.
Think of this book as an engaging evening with a rather authoritarian dreamer who happens to be a distinguished scientist. Based on a series of lectures delivered at the New York Public Library in the late 1990s, the book rambles through a variegated terrain of technology, history, ethics, philosophy and family pride. It is about thinking more than it is about ideas, about wondering more than it is about thinking. Jules Verne and H.G. Wells figure prominently in the bibliography, but so do serious historians of science. getAbstract.com recommends this slender and elegantly written book for everyone with an interest in science and a sense of the marvelous.
