Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. The Future of Intelligence proposes a new definition of intelligence and follows it, unflinchingly, to where it leads. Intelligence, this book argues, is not the capacity to process more information but the capacity to remove the unnecessary transformations that stand between reality and action. From that single idea, developed through clear examples in physics, navigation, medicine, money, and the changing relationship between human intention and machine execution, the book builds a general account of how deep revolutions actually work: not by accelerating old processes but by changing what we take the fundamental objects to be, so that whole intermediate layers of activity, and the professions and institutions built on them, drain away. Rigorous but written for the general reader, it names the parts of intelligence that no revolution can remove, the determination of worthy ends, the verification of results, and the taste to want well, and it hands the reader a practical method, transformation accounting, for telling the load-bearing work from the bridges that are about to disappear. It is a book for anyone whose work, education, or institution rests on carrying meaning across a gap, which is to say a book for almost everyone, and it takes seriously both the exhilaration and the danger of a world with fewer steps in it.
