We all know that India is a poor country but we never really stop to ask why it became a poor country in the first place! Unless we at least do this how do we go about devising a solution?
The book dismisses all of the pat explanations. It states that countries like India and China never really fell back. They continued a their old, leisurely pace. Instead, what happened was that the Western world shot forward. This dramatic change was caused by the coming of modern science and technology.
What is modern science and technology? What does science truly mean and what does technology really do? The book explains that science is nothing but a search for truth, that technology actually transforms people and that only a proper understanding of these twin tools can set a nation on the path to progress.
The book provides numerous examples and seeks to explain all this in simple terms to the general reader. It advocates study of the history of science and technology as a useful entry point to the pursuit of all knowledge. It shows how it is not just possible but inevitable that an acquaintance with science should lead also to a love for the humanities.
