This is such an enthralling journey through the intricate tapestry of scientific progress marred by unintended consequences. The author masterfully crafts a narrative that unearths the complexities surrounding 7 pivotal innovations, such as the controversial pesticide DDT and the notorious opioid OxyContin. I've only heard of these terms on college and they do sound scary and harmful. But alas, I've now learned of the stories behind them and could now think that they are not totally harmful. As per the book, it's all in the "dose".

I'm totatlly engrossed as he intertwines history, science, and human drama, shedding light on the transformative potential of these breakthroughs and their subsequent descent into unforeseen disasters. This literary work serves as a poignant cautionary tale, beckoning readers to ponder the delicate equilibrium between progress and the latent perils concealed within the folds of scientific ambition. His storytelling prowess transforms what could be a dry exploration into a compelling discourse on the multifaceted relationship between human ingenuity and the uncharted territories of unintended consequences.
