Review:
"Provocative and engaging...Arthur's theory captures many well-known features of technological change [and] also answers interesting questions."-"Nature"
From the Back Cover:
'Like many people I take technology for granted; and like many people I am vaguely suspicious of technology. But I am also caught up by a wonderment at technology, a wonderment at what we humans have created. We hurtle through the sky on pieces of metal traveling at close to the speed of sound; we watch pictures that arrive through the air; we see deep inside our brains and track which of its circuits are active; we snip tiny slivers of molecules from DNA and paste them into bacterial cells. And all this from elements gleaned from nature and from ideas dreamed in our minds...'
