"Science and technology continually transform our experience and society in ways that often seem to be beyond our control. Today different areas of research and innovation are advancing synergistically and multiplying the rate and magnitude of technological and societal change. As the power of technology continues to accelerate, who will be the master of whom?" "In Living with the Genie, leading writers and thinkers come together to confront this question from many perspectives, through provocative essays that open the door to a new dialogue on how technology may be changing what it means to be human, in ways we scarcely comprehend."--BOOK JACKET.

"...where anything can happen, nothing will." Hmmmm.
Book is published by Island Press, devoted to Environmental Solutions.
Takeaway ideas:
1. HVAC still works.
2. Embryos patented.
3. "Science...has limited...world scale war." (Sure wish this was true.)
4. Grow artificial limbs?
5. Repopulate America's "countryside."
6. Slow down Science.
7. Do we need advanced computer systems, A.I., and genetically produced foods?
and my own:
8. Stop poisoning the animals, people, and soil - restore family farms -
Cease spending Science money on useless trips to the moon and beyond
and use NASA funds to cure diseases. (
