Description

Explore the historical and social impact of major technological shifts in Atoms, Bytes and Genes: Public Resistance and Techno-Scientific Responses. This Routledge publication examines how nuclear power, computing, and genetic engineering have shaped the 20th century and continue to face public scrutiny. The book traces the evolution of debates surrounding these three core areas, showing how controversies arise and how they influence the trajectory of modern science. By studying these historical tensions, readers can see how public opinion acts as a real factor in the development of techno-science. Using a unique pain analogy, the text investigates how resistance functions within society. Just as physical pain affects movement, public resistance impacts the progress and direction of scientific advancement. This work is an essential resource for those studying the intersection of sociology, technology, and public policy.
