About the Book
What lies ahead — Ashes or Eden? As a result of the greatest revolution the world has ever known empires are dissolving, religions changing, and stone-age nations are being driven into the Nuclear Society. In this technological revolution every country is a part of a vast machine culture whose scientific symbols, language, and hierarchies appear from pole to pole. Will man's political and spiritual life keep pace with the accelerating scientific progress that is reshaping the contours of human existence? This question is the most important one confronting the world today. World Technology and Human Destiny is the product of a meeting of brilliant and compassionate minds, who gathered together to find the answer to this and related questions. Here Aron, Oppenheimer, Kennan, Rostow, Polanyi, and many others analyze this Nuclear Era and explore the fate of man.
