Sinopsis

This book traces historical debates over developments in nuclear power, computing and genetic engineeringáwhich raised controversy with consequences, and argues that public opinion is a factor of the development of modern techno-science.áBauer uses aá'pain analogy' to show that just as pain impacts movement, resistance impacts techno-scientific mobilization: it signals that something is wrong, and this requires attention, elaboration and a response to the challenge. This analysisáexplores how different fields of enquiry deal with the resistance of social-psychological mentalities in the face of industrial, scientific and political activities inspired by projected futures.
