Madness and Technology are closer than one would expect. Technology drives our daily life; electricity, medicine, energy, communication. The list is endless and distinguishes us from our companions of the natural world. Madness is trying the same thing and expecting a different outcome. Isn’t this what a scientist does? He keeps on trying. Until Baboosh! And who would deny that man has achieved a wonder in creating a population of 8 billion. Madness lies not in the fact that we fail but rather that we succeed.

Like many of his generation, Jude seeks comfort in Technology. It serves to forget his neglected origin. With autistic fervour, he places faith in science. Equations work and the balance between positive and negative is always ensured. Fate takes him to newly independent Ghana, his job, to test fallout from French nuclear testing in Algeria. He and his young wife encounter a world where nature confounds logic and where science is twisted to circumstance. “A people’s bomb cannot harm us,” he is told with such authority that he is forced to accept defeat.
