Description

The Amish Rocket Scientist by Nikola Bijeliti

Is technology good or bad? How much technology do we really need to live? Is there a point beyond which too much technology can hurt us? This novel explores these questions by following the life of an Amish man who decides to become a rocket scientist. How little technology can he live with while still pursuing the aim of rocket science? His story is set against the backdrop of a war of independence which aims to give the Amish an independent homeland. In this book, the Amish are used as a device with which to consider the question of the appropriate level of technology for a society. It should not be construed as a genuine portrayal of the Amish or their way of life.
