First delivered as a lecture in 1923, Daedalus stands as one of the earliest and most influential attempts to forecast the impact of scientific progress on human life. With dazzling prescience, biologist and polymath J.B.S. Haldane explores topics ranging from genetic engineering and artificial reproduction to renewable energy and social evolution—decades before these ideas entered mainstream thought. Blending scientific insight with philosophical daring, Haldane poses challenging questions about ethics, innovation, and the role of science in shaping our destiny.
