An Experiment with an Air Pump
An Experiment with an Air Pump

Historical intertwine with modern ethical quandaries.

If you're intrigued by the interplay of science and morality across different eras, "An Experiment With an Air Pump" offers a dual-timeline narrative that connects the dawn of the 19th century with the challenges of modern science. Stephenson adeptly explores how ethical dilemmas persist despite technological advancements, promising a thought-provoking read that reflects on the human condition through time.

Note: While we do our best to ensure the accuracy of cover images, ISBNs may at times be reused for different editions of the same title which may hence appear as a different cover.
