Imagine a world where the difference between man and machine blurs, where the line between humanity and technology fades, and where the soul and the silicon chip unite. This is not science fiction. This is the twenty-first century according to Ray Kurzweil, the “restless genius” (The Wall Street Journal), “ultimate thinking machine” (Forbes), and inventor of the most innovative and compelling technology of our era.

Fascinating performance, exciting story.

It is pretty amazing, the accuracy with which Kurzweil predicted 15 years ago where we are today technologically. If you factor in a 5 to 10 year delay due to recession and pandemic, his predictions are almost completely accurate. I work in the tech industry and am passionate about it, so it is clear to me that Kurzweil has a gift for seeing how the seeds of technology will grow. The performance could not have been better by Alan Sklar. I hope to hear more from him.

Once relegated to the fringes of society, transhumanism (the use of technology to enhance human intellectual and physical capability) is now poised to enter our cultural mainstream. It has found adherents in Silicon Valley billionaires Ray Kurzweil and Peter Diamandis. Google has entered the picture, establishing a bio-tech subsidiary aimed at solving the problem of aging. In To Be a Machine, journalist Mark O'Connell takes a headlong dive into this burgeoning movement.

Will make dumb people feel smart for being dumb.

At least for Americans, we probably assume we're hearing someone intelligent and well informed speak because of the narrators performance. But that is misleading. This book is just the lazy, personal rumination of someone who has no special interest or education on the topics he writes about. The whole book felt awkward and uncomfortable, and devoid of meaning or value. I get the feeling that ignorant people might align themselves with the authors skepticism without having actually learned anything, simply because the narrator sounds intellectual and brooding. That's not good, in my opinion.

From an acclaimed Harvard professor and one of Time’s most influential people, this paradigm-shifting audiobook shows how almost everything we think we know about aging is wrong, offers a front-row seat to the amazing global effort to slow, stop, and reverse aging, and calls listeners to consider a future where aging can be treated.

Everybody on earth should understand this book.
Revisado: 08-11-20
This book is a glimpse into the next stage of humanity. I personally have close friends and family who hate or love the idea of extending human healthspan and lifespan. Regardless of how you feel about the topic, we have been extending human health and life since the beginning of recorded history, and we are about to make a huge leap in that area. It's a fact, this book explains how it is a fact, and discusses the ethical and moral issues that all of humanity should consider. If everybody in the world understood the content of this book, we would likely avoid decades of strife and needless suffering in the future.
