Synopsis: Contemporary society is rife with instability. Human's active and invasive invesitgation of genetics has raised and given life to the one-time science fiction specter, the clone. The scarcity of natural energy sources had led to greater manipulation of atomic or nuclear energy and as a result greater danger. And the promises of globalization have, in some cases, delivered but in many other ways they have created greater social and economic gaps. Raphael Sassower addresses growing popular anxiety around these and other issues inConfronting Disaster: An Existential Approach to Techoscience.
