Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. You have never seen the world. Not even once.Your brain sits in a room of absolute darkness, receiving nothing but electrical pulses - and from them it builds the entire world you are seeing right now. This book opens with that mystery, then takes you on humankind's greatest adventure: the four-billion-year journey from the first bacterium that learned to "guess" its way toward food, to the artificial intelligence talking with us today.This is not a textbook. It is 29 chapters of storytelling - each one an encounter: the old man who chose poison over giving up his questions; the librarian who measured the Earth with two wells; the shy cleric who hid his manuscript for forty years because he knew it would blow the world open; the monkey who plays video games with its mind; and the machines now learning to "hear" sperm whales in the deep.By the last page, you will: Understand your own brain - and learn faster because you know how the machine in your head actually works;Understand AI from the roots - what it can do, what it can't, and what separates the person who collaborates with AI from the person it replaces;Carry a "fake-news detector" - one devastating question that makes you far harder to fool;Collect stories better than the movies - Confucius, the Buddha, Galileo, Darwin, Einstein, Gandhi, and Turing;See other creatures anew - ants, bees, dogs, pigs, and octopuses, each a complete parallel world.Every chapter runs just 3-5 pages, opens with a scene, and closes with a four-question self-check (answers on the very next page - try before you turn!). No math skills required. Not one formula to memorize. Bring only one thing: curiosity.For middle and high school students, first-year undergraduates - and every adult who wants to hand the next generation the most beautiful story our species has ever written: the story of how we learned to understand the world. This item is printed on demand. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.…
