Description
In this lively, wide-ranging investigation, a journalist travels across India to uncover the truth behind the nation’s celebrated “scientific temper.” Following the country’s scientists, innovators, entrepreneurs, and everyday problem-solvers, she explores how science and technology are reshaping a rapidly changing society—from ancient traditions giving way to modern research to innovations once reserved for the wealthy reaching poorer communities. Part travel narrative, part cultural inquiry, the book offers an illuminating portrait of India’s ambitions, contradictions, and inventive spirit, told with the curiosity and momentum of a classic detective story.
