The journey to Laputa was a satire of science, a satire on bureaucracy and on the Royal Society and its experiments. In this section, witnesses the way in which the blind pursuit of science was ruinous and without practical result. Swify illustrates his point through Gulliver's visit to the Grand Academy of Lagado..... a place in which great resources and manpower were utilized to futher ridiculous schemes, all while mocking the way power was manipulated in the name of science and research.
