Description :
Genetic engineering, nanotechnology, astrophysics, particle physics: We live in an engineered world, one where the distinctions between science and engineering, technology and research, are fast disappearing. This book shows how, at the dawn of the twenty-first century, the goals of natural scientists—to discover what was not known—and that of engineers—to create what did not exist—are undergoing an unprecedented convergence.
Sunny Y. Auyang has worked as a research scientist at Hewlett-Packard and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and is the author of Mind in Everyday Life and Cognitive Science.
