Review of 'The Demon-Haunted World; Science As A Candle In The Dark' on 'Goodreads'
5 stars
I'm not convinced that it's unabridged as advertised :-(; there appeared to be sections missing, but it's an excellent book! I was able to get a PDF copy online, and we'll see whether all parts are complete in this one.
It was written almost 20 years ago, but some of the same problems with government and society regarding science are definitely still applicable!
I was very right! It was definitely not unabridged; I just listened to and unabridged audio copy of it from audible (at least trustworthy!), and it's amazing how much more there was to the book. The amount that was in the original copy was definitely good, but the entire book has so much more. The end of the is vaguely political in that it points out how little our country is paying attention to our obligations and legacy in terms of science and even technology! And this is all before the age of Trump when he gets nothing but worse! Overall, it's still a great book; the world lost a fabulous scientist when he died :-( .
