This book offers a critique of civilian nuclear power as a green energy strategy for India. The author argues that the existing growth-based, highly technology-centric model of organizing economic activity is unsustainable and urgently needs reform. Categorizing nuclear power in India as an "authoritarian technology," the book proposes an alternative arrangement, a synergy of ideas from the fields of economic development, energy planning, science, technology and society studies.
