Accessory to War, by Neil de Grasse Tyson & Avis Lang

Accessory to War: The Unspoken Alliance Between Astrophysics and the Military (2018)

The long marriage of the military and the frontier sciences. It gives slow, accumulated evidence for a claim my book makes in a paragraph: there has never been a clean separation between civilian and military technological development. Long and digressive; rewarding if the theme grips you.

Read it asking: Can science be separated from power, let alone from technology?
