A geeky travelogue to meet the inventors, engineers, and young scientists helping to give birth to the world's next scientific superpower--a nation built not on conquest, oil, or minerals, but on the scientific ingenuity of its people. Delves inside the psyche of the nation's science-hungry citizens, explaining how ancient science is giving way to new, and how the technology of the wealthy is passing on to the poor. Also explores why the government of the most religious country on earth has put its faith in science and technology.
