Circa 2118: What Humans Will Do When Machines Take Over

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - If this book doesn't rock you back on your heels, you're not a carbon-based life form. Part newsfeed realism, part unblinking research, part societal call-to-action, Circa 2118 presents a stunningly provocative portrait of the rise of super-C machines in the American workplace over the next one hundred years. Animated by ultra-intelligent, ultra-intuitive, ultra-empathetic technology, these byte-collar workers won't terminate our species, but they will terminate our jobs, our careers and our access to the American Dream . unless we prepare for their arrival. Evoking the clarion call of the 21st century - if you see something, say something - Peter Weddle has created a world of fact and fantasy to describe the chaos that is about to descend on American business, society and culture. Weddle, however, doesn't agree with Hollywood. He acknowledges that the period between now and circa 2118 will test the nation's character - in fact he calls it a Second Middle Ages - but he believes America will not be dominated by machines, but instead be liberated by them. He argues that super-C machines will free Americans from the handcuffs of paid employment and open the door to a new and profoundly rewarding era - the Neonaissance, the Birth of Self-Ennoblement.
