What if machines could evolve, adapt, and self-replicate just as living organisms do? What if artificial life, guided by principles of evolution, begins to rival biology in complexity, intelligence, and creativity? In The Algorithmic Genome: Synthetic Evolution, Artificial Life, and the Advent of Autonomous Intelligence, a groundbreaking exploration of the future of technology, intelligence, and society, these questions are not only asked but rigorously investigated. At the heart of this book lies a bold concept: the "algorithmic genome," a digital parallel to DNA, capable of encoding the ...

Animals make for terrible technology. The technological use of animals - making food, drugs, clothing, and cosmetics out of animal material - will cease. After Meat explains the fundamental limits of animal technology in terms of physics and biology. Replacement technology such as microbial fermentation will surpass those limits. Eventually, we’ll have food that is better in every way - in terms of taste, cost, nutrition, resource consumption, and ethics - because we won't use animals to produce it.

Already technology enables parents to select some genetic traits for their children, and soon it will be possible to begin to shape ourselves as a species. Countering loud cries of alarm, bioethics expert Ronald Green explains why our fears about genetic engineering are overblown and how we can move forward responsibly to create a better future.

A riveting, fast-paced inside look at one of the most incredible private-sector achievements in history, Moonshot recounts the intensive nine months in 2020 when the scientists at Pfizer, under the visionary leadership of Dr Albert Bourla, made 'the impossible possible' - creating, testing and manufacturing a safe and effective COIVD-19 vaccine that previously would have taken years to develop.

Toxic Algae is an epidemic threatening natural waterways locally, and globally. Harmful Algal Blooms (HAB) are an explosive growth of photosynthetic organisms in a body of water which can harm amphibians, fish, wildlife, pets, and human health by producing dangerous toxins.

From foolproof lie detectors to sure-fire investment strategies to super-enhanced religious and aesthetic experiences, the insights and revelations within The Neuro Revolution will foster wonder, debate, and in some cases consternation. Above all, though, they need to be understood by those who will be most affected - all of us.

Life on earth is facing unprecedented challenges from global warming, war, and mass extinctions. The plight of seeds is a less visible but no less fundamental threat to our survival. Seeds are at the heart of the planet's life-support systems. Their power to regenerate and adapt are essential to maintaining our food supply and our ability to cope with a changing climate. Environmental journalist Claire Hope Cummings exposes the stories behind the rise of industrial agriculture and plant biotechnology, the fall of public interest science, and the folly of patenting seeds.

Unnatural Selection is the first book to examine the rise of the "technocentric being" - or geek - who personifies a distinct new phase in human evolution. People considered geeks often have behavioral or genetic traits that were previously considered detrimental. But the new environment of the Anthropocene period - the Age of Man - has created a kind of digital greenhouse that actually favors their traits, enabling many non-neurotypical people to bloom.

What is embryonic stem cell research? Why is it so controversial? What is its relationship to human cloning? Events are moving so fast and biotechnology seems so complicated that many of us don't have an informed opinion about issues that are remaking the human future before our very eyes.

Will the rise of machines result in our becoming slaves? What is the human consciousness? Science fiction fans whose typical Hollywood diet of future killer robots may not have considered the very real possibility that, when quantum computing gives rise to artificial intelligence, its rate of technological advancement will not only become exponential, but it will apprehend quickly (and scarily to us) who we are, and who IT is, especially if this A.I. has instant access to all human knowledge.

New advances in medical science and the unraveling of the human genome are providing us great insights to the aging process. We can now significantly increase our healthy longevity and live long enough to take advantage of the even newer technologies being developed.

So if you want to increase your chances of living a long and healthy life, maybe even becoming immortal, you need to learn what you can do today.

Cutting-edge studies in neuroscience have in recent years proved what many doctors, therapists, and other health professionals had long suspected: Simple, repetitive tasks, performed with focus and attention - mindfulness - can not only quieten our noisy thought processes and help us relax but also improve our outlook on life and protect us against life-threatening illnesses. A cognitive neuroscientist and a leading authority on mental performance, Stan Rodski sets out the science behind these remarkable discoveries in simple terms and explains how you in turn can benefit from them.

This short book focuses on reasons why human cryopreservation and cryonics is ultimately desirable. This is done by examining specific reasons why utilizing cryonics may be beneficial, and also by examining potential objections to utilizing cryonics and why these are ultimately likely unfounded. Whether or not to try and utilize cryopreservation is ultimately a personal choice and this book attempts to help provide a way of making a more informed personal decision.
