From Robocop to the Terminator to Eve 8, no image better captures our deepest fears about technology than the cyborg, the person who is both flesh and metal, brain and electronics. But philosopher and cognitive scientist Andy Clark sees it differently. Cyborgs, he writes, are not something to be feared--we already are cyborgs. In Natural-Born Cyborgs, Clark argues that what mak...(展开全部)

In this mind-expanding book, scientific pioneer Marvin Minsky continues his groundbreaking research, offering a fascinating new model for how our minds work. He argues persuasively that emotions, intuitions, and feelings are not distinct things, but different ways of thinking. By examining these different forms of mind activity, Minsky says, we can explain why our thought some...(展开全部)

马文·明斯基（Marvin Minsky） 人工智能领域的先驱之一，是首批机械人手臂、世界上第一个神经网络模拟器 Snare、世界上最早能够模拟人类活动的机器人 Robot C 的创建者。同时，他还是世界上第一个人工智能实验室——MIT人工智能实验室的联合创始人，以及虚拟现实（VR）的最早倡导者。 作为一位伟大的人工智能科学家，明斯基获奖无数：他是人工智能领域首位图灵奖获得者、MIT 1989年 Killian 奖获得者，并于1990年获得日本政府所设立的“日本奖”。此外，明斯基还是日本东芝公司媒体艺术和科学领域的教授，美国科学院和美国工程院院士，曾出任美国人工智能学会主席。

Recent developments in biotechnology and genetic research are raising complex ethical questions concerning the legitimate scope and limits of genetic intervention. As we begin to contemplate the possibility of intervening in the human genome to prevent diseases, we cannot help but feel that the human species might soon be able to take its biological evolution in its own hands. ...(展开全部)

Transhumanism posits that humanity is on the verge of rapid evolutionary change as a result of emerging technologies and increased global consciousness. However, this insight is dismissed as a naive and controversial reframing of posthumanist thought, having also been vilified as “the most dangerous idea in the world” by Francis Fukuyama. In this book, Andrew Pilsch counters th...(展开全部)

Three of the world’s most accomplished and deep thinkers come together to explore Artificial Intelligence (AI) and the way it is transforming human society—and what this technology means for us all. An AI learned to win chess by making moves human grand masters had never conceived. Another AI discovered a new antibiotic by analyzing molecular properties human scientists did not...(展开全部)
