Köp båda 2 för 1725 krThis is a book about the futurethe future of liberty, love, and learning in a scientific age. Ranging from the techno-utopian to the techno-wary, the authors explore the possible shape of the world to come. Can we expect an unbounded, creative future? Or is it true, as Abraham Lincoln said, that This is a world of compensations, a world where both human and cosmic nature (not to mention divine justice) set limits and establish relations that have a logic all their own? If even robots need morality, as the AI theorists are beginning to realize, then we really are stuck with virtue. This insightful and eloquent collection helps us think more deeply about permanence in the midst of change. -- Diana J. Schaub, Loyola University Maryland
