A nice short essay by John Horgan, evaluating his book "The End of Science" nearly 20 years later:https://blogs.scientificamerican.com/cross-check/was-i-wrong-about-8220-the-end-of-science-8221/ …
Have you seriously engaged with H's argument? Horgan's book is better than I remember (at least the opening, I'm not that far in). I went looking for rebuttals and it's striking how bad they are, even - perhaps especially - those from famous scientists.

I read it back when it came out. Surprised you think it interesting. Will reconsider.

I read it back when it came out, too. I'm inclined to think my earlier dismissal was wrong. His argument has some bad flaws, but it's more correct & interesting than many of his critics' "rebuttals".
