Abstract
In my book review of Vaclav Smil’s recently published book Growth, I focus on perspectives of technocratic ideology with respect to human evolution. Can we measure future evolution of homo sapiens quantitatively or in some other way? I study Smil’s approach to the problem and show its key strengths and deficiencies.
