Críticas
"The small size of this welcome book belies the depth and quality of the material . . . . Would be a useful addition to courses on the history of philosophy of science, because it challenges both scientist and layperson to reflect on the roles of science in society." --Choice "Few of the more controversial speculations by scientists on science and the future are worth revisiting but Haldane's Daedalus is an exception. Daedalus Revisited is a lively and pertinent contribution to the current debate."--New Scientist "Krishna Dronamraju has recruited a strong panel to comment on Daedalus from a modern perspective. The result is a very worthwhile book."--TIG "The small size of this welcome book belies the depth and quality of the material . . . .

Reseña del editor
This volume contains the reprinted text of J.B.S. Haldane's "Daedalus or Science and the Future", which caused a sensation when first published in 1923 due to its prediction of future scientific experiments, including test-tube babies. There is also discussion from eminent modern scientists of its relevance today, and the complex relationship between technology and society. Including contributions from Freeman Dyson, Joshua Lederberg, M.F. Perutz and others, the volume examines the impact of predictions on the future development of science and technology, and scientific ethics.
