They’re moving forward, trying to make decisions about what questions to pursue and technologies to produce, often doing so without foresight, reflection, or overt ethics.” My title extends this idea to technical experts. “When Carl von Clausewitz, a Prussian military analyst, talks about the fog of war,” says Lindee, “he means that the view of a commander moving into a battlefield is obstructed, that the situation is uncertain and unpredictable. The book’s title-a play on the “fog of war”-relates to the valorization of rationality among scientists. Without labeling the work itself as moral or immoral, Lindee notes how some researchers embraced the implications of their studies and innovations, while others distanced themselves from the consequences. In nine chapters that span from the invention of guns in the Middle Ages to the emergence of drone warfare, she charts the nuanced moral terrain scientists have walked in developing these technologies. Susan Lindee, Janice and Julian Bers Professor of the History and Sociology of Science, explores how science and scientists have engaged in the advancement of military might. In a new book, Rational Fog: Science and Technology in Modern Warfare, M. Consequently, the creators of those and many other technologies have found themselves in moral quandaries resulting from the violent application of their insights. The discoveries that underlie technologies from the gun to the atomic bomb emerged from the minds of scientists.
