Reason in the fog of war. Science and technology on the battlefields. Lindy S.

Modern militarized science and technology are represented in this book as a moral disaster associated with the use of human mind resources to cause the greatest suffering to people. Over the past century, scientists and engineers have found many ways of destructive influence on a person. Specialists with financial support of states continue to invent more and more effective ways to destroy people and the environment. At the same time, the human mind itself has become the field of the battle of a new type, has also turned into an extremely vulnerable goal, in many respects more important for the war of the 21st century than factories or military objects, and in weapons, because fear and anger caused by propaganda can apply quite real Socio-economic and political damage.

The author is aware that there is no simple way to reorient scientific knowledge and direct them exclusively to achieve the benefit of mankind, but a clear representation and formulation of the problem is the first step to solving it.
