This volume contains the reprinted text of J.B.S. Haldane's "Daedalus or Science and the Future", which caused a sensation when first published in 1923 due to its prediction of future scientific experiments, including test-tube babies. There is also discussion from eminent modern scientists of its relevance today, and the complex relationship between technology and society. Including contributions from Freeman Dyson, Joshua Lederberg, M.F. Perutz and others, the volume examines the impact of predictions on the future development of science and technology, and scientific ethics.
