Flesh and Machines: How Robots Will Change Us
Flesh and Machines: How Robots Will Change Us
In a clear-sighted look into the technological future, the director of MITUs Artificial Intelligence Laboratory graphically depicts the history of robotic progress while he vividly speculates on a not-too-distant world in which robotic helpers will be able to think, feel, repair themselves, and even reproduce.
From the director of the MIT Artificial Intelligence Laboratory--"a stimulating book written by one of the major players in the field--perhaps the major player.... Offers surprisingly deep glimpses into what it is to be human" (The New York Times Book Review).
Are we really on the brink of having robots to mop our floors, do our dishes, mow our lawns, and clean our windows? And are researchers that close to creating robots that can think, feel, repair themselves, and even reproduce? Rodney A. Brooks believes we are. In this lucid and accessible book, Brooks vividly depicts the history of robots and explores the ever-changing relationships between humans and their technological brethren, speculating on the growing role that robots will play in our existence. Knowing the moral battle likely to ensue, he posits a clear philosophical argument as to why we should not fear that change. What results is a fascinating book that offers a deeper understanding of who we are and how we can control what we will become.
