The Dark Side of Progress (Large Print): 101 Inventions That Changed the World, Endangered the Planet, and Altered the Course of History in Terrifying Ways - Tapa blanda
Sinopsis
Large Print Edition
The Dark Side of Progress explores the inventions, ideas, and breakthroughs that reshaped the world in extraordinary ways while leaving deep scars behind. Instead of celebrating innovation blindly, this book reveals the hidden costs, dangerous consequences, and unsettling truths behind technologies that promised improvement but delivered lasting harm.
From environmental devastation and medical ethics failures to surveillance, warfare innovation, social manipulation, and existential technological risks, each chapter uncovers how human ambition, curiosity, and confidence collided with unintended consequences. These are the machines, systems, and “solutions” that changed history, altered societies, and created problems that still echo today.
Thoughtful, gripping, and deeply reflective, this collection does not simply retell history. It asks an urgent question. What happens when progress moves faster than wisdom, and when invention forgets responsibility? The Dark Side of Progress invites readers to rethink what it truly means to advance, and who pays the price when humanity chooses power over caution.
