When ungroovy scientists did groovy science: how non-activist scientists and engineers adapted their work to a rapidly changing social and political landscape.

In The Squares, Cyrus Mody shows how, between the late 1960s and the early 1980s, some scientists and engineers who did not consider themselves activists, New Leftists, or members of the counterculture accommodated their work to the rapidly changing social and political landscape of the time. These square scientists, Mody shows, began to do many of the things that the counterculture urged: turn away from military-industrial funding, become more interdisciplinary, and focus their research on solving problems of civil society. During the period Mody calls the long 1970s, ungroovy scientists were doing groovy science. 
 
Mody offers a series of case studies of some of these collective efforts by non-activist scientists to use their technical knowledge for the good of society. He considers the region around Santa Barbara and the interplay of public universities, think tanks, established firms, new companies, philanthropies, and social movement organizations. He looks at Stanford Universitys transition from Cold War science to commercialized technoscience  NASAs search for a post-Apollo mission  the unsuccessful foray into solar energy by Nobel laureate Jack Kilby  the civilianization of the US semiconductor industry  and systems engineer Arthur D. Halls ill-fated promotion of automated agriculture.
