This set contains both volumes of Brave New e-World, presenting the historical review of electronics from the middle of the 18th century to the present day. From the telegraph to the quantum computer and superconductors, Gurvitch combines personal recollections with scientific knowledge to advance the final thesis: the representation of a new non-biological evolution in electronics. This is all done in an intellectually engaging way: spiced by historical anecdotes, warmed by Gurvitch's enthusiastic love for science, and completed with the full participation of the reader. The concluding argument on electronic evolution is alarming, but it might prove to be a necessary concern in the continual development of electronic technologies.

About the Author
Gurvitch continued his career in the Research Division of AT&T Bell Labs in Murray Hill, the "lion's den" of 1980s science, at the time when Bell Labs was arguably the best research center in the world. He went on to author over 100 peer-reviewed publications in leading physics journals during his time in Bell Labs and later at Stony Brook. He had also played a pivotal role on the development of robust Nb-Al Josephson Junctions, served as director of the interdisciplinary Institute for Interface Phenomena in the early 1990s, and started writing about his many experiences in research. Through a 2021 publication in Techné: Research in Philosophy and Technology Gurvitch presented his first paper in philosophy about the evolution of electronics.
