Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This gripping novel follows Peter Kerr, a brilliant engineer with a bold vision that contrasts sharply with the diplomatic caution and complacency of his time. Set against the backdrop of the early 20th century, a period marked by rapid industrialization and geopolitical tensions, the book explores Kerr's radical plan to harness the power of science and engineering to uplift the infrastructure of Asia, bringing about lasting and transformative change. As Kerr navigates social circles and political obstacles, the novel delves into themes of innovation, ambition, cultural differences, and the human desire to shape the future. Through Kerr's journey, the book provokes thoughtful consideration of the potential and limitations of technological advancements, while also highlighting the complexities of global progress and the fine line between ambition and hubris.
