Questions 4 and 5 refer to the following monolog.
I’d like to review a book entitled Imagined
Worlds by Freeman Dyson. Freeman Dyson’s exploration of science and
technology at the end of the 20th century is provocative and brilliant. Whether
he’s debating the best method of averting Earth-bound comets or envisioning
humanity’s postbiological future in deep space, Dyson’s intelligence and direct
writing style will grip you. “Imagined Worlds” contains excellent chapters on
the anatomy of scientific progress, genetic engineering, the digital revolution
and near-future astronomy. Dyson excels in critical science writing that
inspires and invigorates.

create a city she feels is righteous and fair?

Contoh
jawaban:
Borderlands of
Science by Charles Sheffield is an arresting guide to physics, chemistry
and biology written by a seasoned science fiction writer.
Borderlands, while a fun
factual adventure for readers of any persuasion, is especially good reading for
aspiring writers. Sheffield’s prose is brisk and conversational, and his book
successfully balances the seriousness of science with the sheer fun it can be
when translated to the medium of fiction. Borderlands is a compulsively
readable refresher course comparable to the popular science works of Carl Sagan
and Isaac Asimov.
