A retrospection on what science is, what it means and what it might become by a very plugged-in member of the U.S. defense establishment. Most often Vannevar Bush (no relation to the Bush dynasty) is cited as being the first to envision hyperlinked text through his concept of the "memex", but the mind of this man went much deeper than figuring out more efficient ways to recall and record information; Vannevar wanted to push us all to see science as not a mere collection of facts driven by cold pragmatism, but instead as a noble undertaking where the goal is to not just leave a better world for our descendants, but to bestow upon them an intellectual treasure chest of ideas and concepts about how our world works so that we can keep the amazing power of thought and understanding growing and not let it fade out in ignorance, or the meaningless of materialism: Vannevar hints at the end of the book (starting on p. 182) that he thinks there's another way of understanding that doesn't rely on just logic and observation, and although he doesn't go into details about it, the context of the book makes it clear that he's not talking about religion, no, he's talking about a new way of thinking: a new mode of thought. I could go on and on because there's so many parts of the book worth reading, like where he shares his thoughts on what professionalism means (p. 69), on what a true gentleman is (p. 39, 48-49), on what makes a good manager (p. 56), and more... but I'll close this review by saying that if you're interested in what science means, then read this book.
