Well, I did something this week, I seldom do. I picked up a novel and starting reading the first page it opened to which was not at the beginning of the book.
I'd entered into an action scene that read like a great outdoor adventure where one garners knowledge about hard-wired behaviors that enhance our ability to cope.
It was a Naturalist writing style that seemed real and raw, and I found it difficult to trek back to the beginning because I was engaged by the expression and exposition in this book that was teaching nature does what it wants.
I eventually did make my way back to the beginning and in Chapter 3 found Jardine chuckle while stating, "Creating intelligence is hard. Creating wisdom is even harder."
One might think the intersection of technology and humanity is when we realize there is a difference between hypothesis and scientific theory and recognize that cognitive collaboration is needed to thoughtfully fulfill functions that are supported by lines of evidence.
If you acknowledge there is uncertainty and that science is an ongoing process and are searching for a book that uses connections for story weaving about Artificial Intelligence then you will not want to miss this read.
I received a copy of this book from the author Gary Bengier through Alyssa Longo with Farrow Communications. ( )
