The God That Limps is a provocative analysis of the role of science
and technology in a world economy that has undergone fundamental
changes in the past few years. Colin Norman, a journalist and
former senior researcher with Worldwatch Institute, argues that the
mounting problems confronting rich and poor countries alike make
technological change more and more urgent. But at the same time,
they make the social impact of new technology more complicated.
Sponsored jointly by Worldwatch Institute and the United Nations
Environment Programme, The God That Limps challenges much of the
conventional wisdom about science and technology. Norman
demonstrates how the world s $150 billion per year investment in
research and development is more suited to the military needs of
the fifties than to the social needs of the eighties, and he argues
that current policies in countries such as the United States are
making the situation worse."
