From the Abstract: Fusion research is the longest, most expensive, most scrutinized failure of physics or of any sort of science. Why is the war on cancer, or research on consciousness, gravity waves, etc. and fusion such a disaster? We shall cover the subject from seven different angles, by seven authors through the eyes of outsiders, insiders, optimists and pessimists. What we see is the common root of all blunders, let it be politics, high finance, or military missions.

We shall see ample examples of plain lies, over and underestimations, hubris, stupidity by committees, and endless strings of cover ups. As for fusion, it is obvious: physicists don't read patents, are not interested in mother nature's inventions like biological transmutation. If they ever listen to internal dissent, it is only to suppress criticism. If it comes from the outside, it is simply ignored. All in all, science as an institution collapsed in its real meaning.
