Hey, I wrote a book.
Did The Science Wars Take Place?
Covers the history and philosophy of a fight in the 80s & 90s between some postmodernists and scientists, with an eye to anarchist interests and lasting political influences among the far-right.

In the 70s and 80s, a current emerged in leftist subcultural spaces and eventually in academia that aggressively denied that scientific models could ever capture any degree of a single underlying objective reality. This was vociferously opposed by anarchists, feminists, antifascists, many marxists, and other radicals.
