Description
In this profound and urgent new book, leading thinker on technology Kester Brewin shows how AI is both stunningly new and rooted in the most ancient human desires. Hailed by the UK government’s own lead on AI as ‘god-like’, as we finally welcome this stunning technology amongst us – with Frankenstein and Faustus, from the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel to the underbelly of Silicon Valley – Brewin skillfully leads us through the myths, machines and monsters that have influenced the development of our greatest and most longed-for invention, and how we can learn to live alongside it.
