Produktinformasjon
<p><b>'Book of the Year' as chosen by <i>The Conversation</i></b><br><b><br>'Disconcerting . . .</b><b> a disturbing and important book' <i>NEW SCIENTIST</i></b><br><br><b>'Smart and wonderfully readable' <i>NEW YORK TIMES</i></b><br><br><b>The bad science and sinister ideas behind Silicon Valley's foolish obsession with immortality, AI paradise and limitless growth.</b><br><br>Tech billionaires have decided that they should determine our futures for us. According to Elon Musk, Jeff Bezos, Sam Altman and more, the only good future for humanity is one powered by technology: trillions of humans living in space, functionally immortal, served by superintelligent AIs.<br><br>In <i>More Everything Forever</i>, scientist and writer Adam Becker investigates these wildly implausible and often profoundly immoral visions of tomorrow to reveal why, in reality, there is no good evidence that they will, or should, come to pass. The giants of Silicon Valley claim that their ideas are based on science, but the truth is darker: they come from a jumbled mix of shallow futurism and racist pseudoscience. And behind these fanciful visions of space colonies and digital immortality is a cynical power grab, at the expense of essential work spent on solving real problems like the climate crisis.<br><br><i>More Everything Forever</i> exposes the powerful myths that dominate Silicon Valley, challenging us to see how foolish, and dangerous, these visions of the future are.</p>
