The Impact Of Science On Society by Bertrand Russell

A wide-ranging exploration of how scientific advances and technological power have reshaped modern life, arguing that while science has increased material wealth and control over nature it has not automatically produced wisdom or humane social institutions. The essays examine effects on industry, education, morality, warfare and sexual and social relations, warn of dangers from unregulated technocracy and the misuse of scientific authority, and advocate for democratic planning, ethical education, and critical, rational thought to steer science toward human welfare rather than merely increased power.
