Monsters: The Hindenburg Disaster and the Birth of Pathological Technology
by Regis, Ed
|
|
Zeppelins were steerable balloons of highly flammable, explosive gas, but the sheer magic of seeing one of these behemoths afloat in the sky cast an irresistible spell over those who saw them. Ed Regis explores the question of how a technology so fundamentally unsafe ever managed to reach the level of development that it did. He examines the perils of what he calls "pathological technologies" -- inventions whose risks are routinely minimized as a result of their almost mystical allure. | |
