- W188816117 abstract "By Robert Frenay University of Nebraska Press, Lincoln, 2006, ISBN 978-0-8032-1777-5 Price $24.95 Reviewed by Rebecca Kane Journal of High Technology Law Suffolk University Law School “We have now begun pushing up against our habitat limits. It’s time for a more complex and efficient culture to emerge.” Pulse, by Robert Frenay, not only outlines why and how the machine-age is failing, it also gives optimistic solutions using today’s latest technologies. The problem is not with the machine-age advances themselves, according to Frenay, but with the linear system that was created by the machine-age based on incomplete knowledge of biology and the earth’s ecosystems. He believes that trying to define nature as a machine-like process instead of an interactive web of interconnecting systems balancing off of each other has had detrimental effects to all aspects of life. The book begins with a historical overview of the theories of biology, before and after the Industrial Revolution. While necessary for a complete understanding of the shifts in thought throughout history, at times this section was too comprehensive, bordering on dull. Frenay soon leaves this section behind and jumps into a discussion of today’s developing technology that feels like pages from a science fiction novel. He explains the science behind nanotechnology in a way that is accessible by the average reader, enumerating its many possible uses both for good and bad. The search for a fountain of youth has been the obsession of numerous writers throughout history, and nanotechnology has the potential to make this a reality by stripping away" @default.
