Publisher's Synopsis

This text tells the bittersweet story of how one country lost its industrial tradition and got back something else. It follows the technologists whose work kept Concorde flying, created the computer game, conquered the mobile-phone business, and who are now sending the Beagle 2 probe to burrow in the sands of Mars.
