Sinossi
Computers are everywhere. Hailed as the shining stars of the modern age, they seem inescapable. Yet behind the glittering image lurks a threat that could prove devasting to mankind. Already it is asked, is the computer a Messiah or a monster? In this accessible and though-provoking book, Geoff Simons explores the computer's invasion of all our lives. The personal, social and military implications are profound: from loss of jobs, the threat presented by artificial intelligence to man's self-control through dependency of the computer. This book presents an analysis and a warning. Mankind's enthusiasm for the computer may well be blinding him to a spectrum of dangers. A previous book by Geoff Simons asked 'Are Computers Alive?' - now he asks whether computers are turning against their makers.

In this provocative, highly-researched book, the author explores the alarming consequences-personal and social- of the insidious computer invasion of all our lives. He shows the sinister side of the computer and exposes its role as creator of phobias, stealer of jobs, marriage breaker, dehumanizing force, and more. Dependency on the computer, the author argues, is compromising people's power to control their own destines." FINE HARDOCVER, FINE DUST JACKET. Size: 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. Codice articolo 016996
