In the book of Cat's Cradle, it speaks about contempt to modern culture. And the relationship between science and religion.
In the book, Felix Hoenikker, the creator of atomic bomb, has created ice-9 which is more powerful and destructible then atomic bomb. And he doesn't even realize that the invention of a weapon was a sin. This book makes me to think about discouraging future of civilization. And implies that if we don't reflect on our past conduct then the human race will be extincted.
Humans were not only creating the weapon for their enemy, in the end the weapons will be used to kill themselves. And it's true that science has been a bless, but if it's too much it can be a curse.

The last point that the creation of new weapons spell destruction for all, not just some, is a good one.
ReplyDeleteWhy didn't Hoenikker realize his invention was harmful? Is it really a sin to continue research in technology?
