Helpless Earth : Reckless Science

For some reason, I cannot change the book description.

Could you please change it as follows:

***
Across the globe, educational systems stress the value and utility of science.
Yet, the mixed blessing of modern scientific advance is an open secret.

What you see depends on what you look at.
Medical treatments? Nuclear weapons? Electrical instruments? Chemical pollutants? Soil fertilizers? Engineered pathogens?

The Nobel Prize announcements might give you a deep sense of pride.
But a brief glance at the Doomsday Clock archive is a sobering reminder.

Based on current evidences and predictions, this book is rather skeptical about the rooted drive to benefit humankind with science.

Indeed, this unorthodox work targets scientific establishments for failing to implement an appropriate code of ethics, overlooking the growing need to control their programs, yielding to group thinking, impairing the chances of humanity’s survival, blurring their accountability, and insistently promoting a deceptive awareness of modern science and technology.

Thanks,
