Dyson, Professor Emeritus of Physics at the Institute for Advanced Study, Princeton University in the U.S.A. This short book was originally published in 1999 by the Oxford University Press. SynopsisProfessor Dyson suggests that three rapidly advancing technologies, Solar Energy, Genetic Engineering and World-Wide Communication together have the potential to create a more equal distribution of the world's wealth. Amongst other things he proposes that solar power in the Third World could connect even the most remote areas to all of the information on the internet, potentially ending the cultural isolation of the poorest countries. Likewise, breakthroughs in genetics could lead to more efficient crops, thereby engendering the renewed vitality of traditional village life, currently devalued by the global market. Reviews
