Abstract

When we speak about synthetic diamonds, are we talking of science, technology, economy, fiction or psychology? A jaunt through recent history hand in hand with the authors who dreamed of, and finally achieved, the synthesis of diamonds, allows us to grasp the common traits of those dreams, expressed either in fiction or in the laboratory.

Keywords: Books, chemistry, diamonds, high pressure.
