The New Atlantis – Daedalus and Icarus Revisited – Charles T. Rubin

This article by Charles T. Rubin in The New Atlantis (which I got to through Arts&Letters Daily) revisits a 1923 ‘debate’ via duelling essays between J.B.S. Haldane and Bertrand Russell regarding the impact of science and technology on human “progress”. I haven’t yet read the originals but enjoyed the article – up to its rather odd (to me) conclusion. Maybe more later.
