What happens when a perfectly ordinary man wanders into three of the strangest ideas shaping our future?
Mr Clarke never intended to become an explorer of artificial intelligence, quantum computing or blockchain. He would have been quite happy with a cup of tea, a reasonably comprehensible lecture and the reassuring certainty that cats are either alive or dead.
Unfortunately, technology has other ideas.
In this collected edition of the Mr Clarke’s Adventures trilogy, Mr Clarke finds himself transported through extraordinary worlds where artificial intelligence lives in infinite libraries, quantum mechanics turns reality into a matter of probability, and blockchain transforms trust, money and bureaucracy into something considerably stranger.
Along the way he encounters talking cats, argumentative algorithms, quantum railway journeys, troublesome DAOs, overworked miners, cryptographic keys and more than one cup of tea whose existence cannot be entirely confirmed.
Funny, imaginative and surprisingly informative, Mr Clarke’s Adventures takes some of the most complex technologies of the modern world and explains them through stories rather than textbooks.
This collected edition contains:
Mr Clarke’s Adventures in Artificial Intelligence
Mr Clarke’s Adventures in Quantum Computing
Mr Clarke’s Adventures in Blockchain
No equations required. No computer science degree necessary. Curiosity is quite sufficient.
Ideal for readers who are fascinated by technology but would rather discover how it works through wit, imagination and storytelling than another technical manual.
