BESTSELLER DEL SUNDAY TIMES Il creatore dell'ipotesi di Gaia e il più grande pensatore ambientale del nostro tempo ha prodotto una nuova sorprendente teoria sul futuro della vita sulla Terra. James Lovelock sostiene che l'antropocene, l'era in cui gli esseri umani hanno acquisito tecnologie su scala planetaria, sta, dopo tre secoli, giungendo al termine. Una nuova era, il novacene, è già iniziata. Nuovi esseri emergeranno dai sistemi di intelligenza artificiale esistenti. Penseranno 10.000 volte più velocemente di noi e ci considereranno come noi ora consideriamo le piante. La crudele e violenta conquista delle macchine immaginata dagli scrittori di fantascienza non accadrà: questi esseri iperintelligenti dipenderanno dalla salute del pianeta tanto quanto noi. Avranno bisogno del sistema di raffreddamento planetario di Gaia per difendersi dal crescente calore del sole. Gaia dipende dalla vita organica. Saremo partner in questo progetto. È fondamentale, sostiene Lovelock, che l'intelligenza della Terra sopravviva e prosperi. Al momento siamo gli unici esseri in grado di comprendere il cosmo, ma lui ipotizza che il novacene potrebbe essere l'inizio di un processo che vedrà l'intelligenza pervadere l'intero cosmo. A 100 anni, Lovelock ha prodotto l'opera più avvincente della sua vita.

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. An astounding look at the future of life on Earth by the great scientific visionary of our ageThe creator of the Gaia hypothesis and the greatest environmental thinker of our time has produced an astounding new theory about the future of life on Earth. James Lovelock argues that the anthropocene - the age in which humans acquired planetary-scale technologies - is, after three centuries, coming to an end. A new age - the novacene - has already begun.New beings will emerge from existing artificial intelligence systems. They will think 10,000 times faster than we do and will regard us as we now regard plants. The cruel, violent machine takeover imagined by sci-fi writers will not happen- these hyper-intelligent beings will be as dependent on the health of the planet as we are. They will need the planetary cooling system of Gaia to defend from the increasing heat of the sun. Gaia depends on organic life. We will be partners in this project. It is crucial, Lovelock argues, that the intelligence of Earth survives and prospers. We are at present the only beings capable of understanding the cosmos, but he speculates that the novacene could be the beginning of a process that will see intelligence suffusing the entire cosmos. At the age 100, Lovelock has produced the most compelling work of his life. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.
