Our species is entering a new era. Millions of years ago, we
created tools to change our environment. Caves became huts, fires
became ovens, and clubs became swords. Collectively these tools
became technology, and the pace of innovation accelerated. Now
we're applying the latest advancements to our own biology, and
technology is becoming part of the process. But is that a good
thing? Not if media scare pieces about government spying, limitless
automation, and electronic addictions are to be believed. But
veteran journalist and best-selling author Peter Nowak looks at
what it means to be human - from the relationships we form and the
beliefs we hold to the jobs we do and the objects we create - and
measures the impact that those innovations have had and will have
in the future. He shows not only how advancements in robotics,
nanotechnology, neurology, and genetics are propelling us into a
new epoch, but how they're improving us as a species. Nowak has
compiled the data and travelled the world to speak to experts.
Focusing on the effects of technology rather than just its
comparatively minor side effects, he finds a world that is rapidly
equalizing, globalizing, and co-operating.
