Geek Nation explains how a spiritual nation squares its soul with hard rationality.
One in five of all medical and dental staff in the UK, one in six science or engineering doctorates in the US and a third of all engineers in Silicon Valley are of Indian origin.
Geek Nation is a journey to meet the inventors, engineers and scientists helping to give birth to the world’s next scientific superpower. Through witty, first-hand reportage and penetrative analysis, Geek Nation explains what this means for the rest of the world, and how a spiritual nation squares its soul with hard rationality.
Journalist / author Angela Saini was named Science Writer of the Year in 2009 and has reported for BBC, The New Scientist, Wired and the Economist. Alok Jha is Science editor of the Guardian.
