Excellent read! The first parts constitute a history of certain sectors of human scientific discovery so inclusive this book would make a good grab should we have another burning of the library of Alexandria type crisis. The later chapters are an incredibly detailed account of military projects so shocking they drop the jaw and require the authors to remind you they are only sharing declassified details. There were a few parts that seemed incongruent with the overall message however. For instance towards the end there was an envisioned utopia, “Rationalia” where laws are based solely on evidence and cannot be constructed in its absence. This seems fine except the whole book has centered on how science or the generation of evidence is politically and militaristically motivated and therefore sorely lacking outside of those purposes. Overall the book is excellent and worth a read just to applaud the extensive research efforts (nearly 200 pages are dedicated to sources and footnotes alone).
