Abstract

The history of the twentieth century reads like a running feud between technology and human values. Modern technology hit human cultures with the force of an invasion: it armed the nations with airplanes, submarines, and nuclear arsenals; revved up communications with radio and television; and now offers options for irreversibly altering the natural environment through genetic engineering.
