2084

Artificial Intelligence and the Future of Humanity

By: John C. Lennox

Narrated by: Justin Brierley

Length: 5 hrs and 38 mins

Publisher's Summary

You don't have to be a computer scientist to get involved in the discussion about where artificial intelligence and technology are going.

What will the year 2084 hold for you - for your friends, for your family, and for our society? Are we doomed to the grim dystopia imagined in George Orwell's 1984?

In 2084, scientist and philosopher John Lennox will introduce you to a kaleidoscope of ideas: the key developments in technological enhancement, bioengineering, and, in particular, artificial intelligence. You will discover the current capacity of AI, its advantages and disadvantages, the facts and the fiction, as well as potential future implications.

The questions posed by AI are open to all of us. And they demand answers. A work that is made to challenge all listeners, no matter your worldview, 2084 shows how the Christian worldview, properly understood, can provide evidence-based, credible answers that will bring you real hope for the future of humanity.

Great book

Loved this book. It is very informative and interesting. It is a very Christian point of view, but it would be interesting to all who question where we are headed as a people in regards to AI.

This is not science, it's Christain fairtail

I admit to not getting past the 1st 3 chapters but I got very tired of Bible references quoted a fact, like the Adam and Eve fairytale. This book is hardly scientificly.

read it it's soooooo good. john lennox is wonderfu

loved it recommend it will tell. everyone about it. you want to read this book you just didn't know it until now ;)

Lennox + Brierley = Perfection

Justin Brierely is the perfect narrator for John Lennox. The only narrator who competes with him is Lennox himself, reading his own work. There are other narrators of Lennox here in Audible, who frankly impair Lennox. Too monotone, and therefore hard to track in pithy Lennox material. Brierley (and Lennox) rock!

Clarity of thought and tempered narrative

Informative assessments that ground the modern penchant for mixing scientific projections with a touch of fiction.

Cheap stuff

Misleading title. This is a cheap, poorly written religious proselytism. Shame on the Editor. Cheating with 2084.

Poor Narration

Justin Brierley may be an excellent choice as narrator for British listeners, but as an American listener I find him intolerable. He completely ruins the information for me and leaves me no choice but to return the book and order a print version. Someone ought to know better than to subject listeners to a British narrator whose accent has all the charm of a rusty wheel, in my opinion.

another stellar work from Lennox!

Lennox continues to challenge me to think more deeply about current issues in light of biblical truth.
also if, like me, you are at all hesitant about things eschatological- this is a great foray into the topic

Lennox at his best!

Very succinct sober take in where we currently find ourselves in this brave new world. Not only beautifuly simplifies the eschatology but also explains why it is relevant to all Christians today. Love this a must read for every Christian and anyone else who would like to know what the hell is going on in 2020!

Interesting to see a biblical perspective

Most books rely solely on science and technology when predicting the future of the human body. Refreshing to see a book that includes the biblical role and how it may play out.

A timely, fascinating little book.

This book is concise and well written and as with his other works demonstrates the extraordinarily wide and deep knowledge of Science, Philosophy and Biblical Christianity. The conclusions it draws seem to be philosophically strong and logically sound. There really are very few authors who can draw from such a breadth of knowledge and comment authoritatively on such topics and in such a refreshing way. Along with fellow intellectual titans: Dr William Lane Craig and Professor Anthony Flew: Lennox is one of my favourite authors. In my opinion this book is well worth reading.

interesting look at the AI future ahead

great narration of an interesting book. Challenging us to compare the future with the past.
