Stuck with virtue

"With irony and wit - and without minimizing the horrors that may well occur as a result of the progress of biotechnology - Lawler explains that the American individual is in all likelihood going to remain free, because the modern effort to make increasingly individualistic human beings at home with themselves and their environments through technological progress cannot ultimately succeed. The human greatness and misery at the foundation of that truth, Lawler concludes, points us in the direction of a genuinely postmodern conservatism, the only kind of "ism" equipped to deal with our biotechnological future."--BOOK JACKET.
