In this wide-ranging survey, Peter J. Bowler explores the phenomenon of
futurology: predictions about the future development and impact of science
and technology on society and culture in the twentieth century. Utilizing
science fiction, popular science literature and the novels of the literary elite,
Bowler highlights contested responses to the potential for revolutionary social
change brought about by real and imagined scientific innovations. Charting
the effect of social and military developments on attitudes toward innovation
in Europe and America, Bowler shows how conflict between the enthusiasm
of technocrats and the pessimism of their critics was presented to the public in
books, magazines and exhibitions, and on the radio and television. A series of
case studies reveals the impact of technologies such as radio, aviation, space
exploration and genetics, exploring rivalries between innovators and the often
unexpected outcome of their efforts to produce mechanisms and machines
that could change the world.
