Omschrijving
Gold Medal Winner, Living Now Book Awards 2024Best Books 2024, Kirkus ReviewsWinner, Independent Press Awards 2024
Bostrom's previous book, Superintelligence: Paths, Dangers, Strategies (OUP, 2014) sparked a global conversation on AI that continues to this day. That book, which became a surprise New York Times bestseller, focused on what might happen if AI development goes wrong.
But what if things go right? Suppose we develop superintelligence safely and ethically, and that we make good use of the almost magical powers this technology would unlock. We would transition into an era in which human labor becomes obsolete--a "post-instrumental" condition in which human efforts are not needed for any practical purpose. Furthermore, human nature itself becomes fully malleable.
The challenge we confront here is not technological but philosophical and spiritual. In such a "solved world", what is the point of human existence? What gives meaning to life? What would we do and experience?
Deep Utopia--a work that is again decades ahead of its time--takes the reader who is able to follow on a journey into the heart of some of the profoundest questions before us, questions we didn't even know to ask. It shows us a glimpse of a different kind of existence, which might be ours in the future.
