W. Patrick McCray chronicles the intellectual history of a small, influential group of scientists and engineers who, during the 1970s, championed radical concepts such as space colonization and molecular nanotechnology. By examining the intersection of technical ambition and cultural imagination, this work details how these figures navigated the boundaries between rigorous scientific inquiry and speculative futurism to shape the trajectory of modern technological discourse.
