Rethinking What Leads the Way: Science, or New Technology?

“Fascinating review of Arthur's new book. Rethinking What Leads the Way: Science, or New Technology? http://nyti.ms/5HDn0P”

"In Dr. Arthur’s view, the relationship between science and technology is more symbiotic than is generally conceded. Science and technology move forward together in a kind of co-evolution. And science does not lead."

Dr. Arthur’s view is that technology is something that defines us as human and that, in the end, we will be able to control a set of technologies that rather than conquering us will extend our humanity.

Library, at least to start. Hopeful.
