Our Own Devices

By Gilles Messier

The second world war, nuclear power, space exploration.

These three powerful forces engendered innovation and changed the course of history but also have a fraught relationship with ourselves both psychologically and ethically.

In these nine new stories based on historical fact, Gilles Messier explores our intimate and often fickle relationship with science and technology in the mid-20th century, and how this came to define our past, present and future.
