W. Patrick McCray chronicles the intellectual history of the late twentieth-century visionaries who championed high-tech utopianism. Through archival research and personal interviews, the book examines how figures like Gerard O'Neill and Eric Drexler transitioned from fringe theorists to influential architects of space colonization and molecular nanotechnology.
