The last 50 pages *do* address the future, and include some far-out ideas like mind uploading and space elevators, but offer little in the way of a possible timeline. Lightly touches on various past scientific pursuits and focuses slightly more on possible future scientific successes, particularly as it pertains to nanotechnology. "The Coming Convergence" is an apt title but I was expecting a more in-depth look at the cutting-edge technologies and more thorough and new ideas. Not recommended for well-read science fiction fans as it simply rehashes some of the ideas that have already been well-examined. Recommended for those first being introduced to notion of The Singularity and/or nanotechnology. Zeige 2 von 2 keine Rezensionen | Rezension hinzufügen
"Imagine direct communication links between the human brain and machines, or tailored materials capable of adapting by themselves to changing environmental conditions, or computer chips and environmental sensors embedded into everyday clothing, or medical technologies that eliminate currently untreatable conditions such as blindness and paralysis. Now imagine all of these developments occurring at the same time. Far-fetched?" "Author Stanley Schmidt explores these and many more amazing yet probable scenarios in this fascinating guide to the near future. He shows how past convergences have led to today's world, then considers tomorrow's main currents in biotechnology, cognitive science, information technology, and nanotechnology."--Jacket.
