'In the intellectual lineage of Charles Perrow's Normal Accidents and Susan Strange's Mad Money, Mad Technology is a serious and searching analysis of the past, present, and future of information and biochemical technology. Authors make a compelling case against the neoliberal consensus, and this book should provoke debate.' - John Lie, Professor and Dean of International and Area Studies, University of California, Berkeley, USA.

'Mad Technology is a long-awaited volume on the management of innovation and technology in the Asian context.

This book is a must for students, professionals, policy makers, and CEOs who want to know how to defend our normal science for a sustainable economic growth.' - Gordon Redding, Senior Affiliate Professor of AsianBusiness, INSEAD.
