Lee E.A. The Coevolution: The Entwined Futures of Humans and Machines

Cambridge, Massachusetts: The MIT Press, 2020. — 384 p. — ISBN: 9780262043939.Цифровая технология должна быть рассмотрена как новая форма жизни, разделяя нашу экосистему и одновременно эволюционируя с нами?Should digital technology be viewed as a new life form, sharing our ecosystem and coevolving with us?
Are humans defining technology, or is technology defining humans? In this book, Edward Ashford Lee considers the case that we are less in control of the trajectory of technology than we think. It shapes us as much as we shape it, and it may be more defensible to think of technology as the result of a Darwinian coevolution than the result of top-down intelligent design. Richard Dawkins famously said that a chicken is an egg's way of making another egg. Is a human a computer's way of making another computer? To understand this question requires a deep dive into how evolution works, how humans are different from computers, and how the way technology develops resembles the emergence of a new life form on our planet.Half a brain
