Futureproofing Humanity: Existential Risk and the Technomyths of Human Engineering, Artificial Intelligence, and Our Future among the Stars - Tapa blanda
Sinopsis
Asteroids and nuclear war, climate change and artificial intelligence…the universe is a dangerous place. In response to these and other “existential risks,” 21st century futurists claim that only extraordinary investment in technology can save humanity from extinction. Thanks to advances in genetic engineering, artificial intelligence, urban design, and spaceflight, futurists hope that we will transcend earthly life, becoming immortal and traveling to distant stars.
Futureproofing Humanity offers a provocative new reading on this narrative of existential risk and the modern hope for technological salvation. We do, indeed, need a mythical view for our modern world. But to futureproof our species – to ensure we live for centuries and millennia to come – requires a responsible myth, one committed to our shared human (and possibly posthuman) civilization.
