Temples of Modernity uses ethnographic data to investigate the
presence of religious ideas and practices in Indian science and
engineering. Geraci shows 1) how the integration of religion,
science and technology undergirds pre- and post-independence Indian
nationalism, 2) that traditional icons and rituals remain relevant
in elite scientific communities, and 3) that transhumanist ideas
now percolate within Indian visions of science and technology. This
work identifies the intersection of religion, science, and
technology as a worldwide phenomenon and suggests that the study of
such interactions should be enriched through attention to the real
experiences of people across the globe.
