ABOUT THE AUTHOR

Hugh Gusterson

Hugh Gusterson (n. 1959) foi professor de Antropologia no MIT e presidente da Associação Americana de Antropologia.

O olhar etnográfico que lança à ciência, e à energia atómica em particular, levou-o a publicar livros como Nuclear Rites (1996), sobre os hábitos, as crenças e a cultura de trabalho oculta de cientistas de armas nucleares, e People of the Bomb (2004), retrato perturbador do modo como a indústria militar moldou a psique das gerações americanas em meio século de era nuclear.

Escreve regularmente para o The Washington Post e o Los Angeles Times.
