Superintelligence asks the questions: What happens when machines surpass humans in general intelligence? Will artificial agents save or destroy us? Nick Bostrom lays the foundation for understanding the future of humanity and intelligent life. The human brain has some capabilities that the brains of other animals lack. It is to these distinctive capabilities that our species owes its dominant position. If machine brains surpassed human brains in general intelligence, then this new superintelligence could become extremely powerful - possibly beyond our control.

Excellent Survey of the Superintelligence Problem
Revisado: 07-23-15
Very well narrated and written, this outline of the scenarios for superintelligent AI emergence is both intriguing and haunting. Bostrom paints an excellent picture if what a post-superintellgent world may look like, and the perils of waiting until that world arrives to begin serious consideration of how to control such agents and avoid existential catastrophe.

Chris Hedges examines the failure of the liberal class to confront the rise of the corporate state and the consequences of a liberalism that has become profoundly bankrupted. Hedges argues that there are five pillars of the liberal establishment and that each of these institutions has sold out the constituents it represented. In doing so, the liberal class has become irrelevant to society at large and ultimately the corporate power elite they once served.

An excellent, though unsettling political work
Revisado: 06-08-15
Chris Hedges makes a remarkable case for the pessimistic side of liberal thought: the establishment has won, and the corporate state has co-opted the institutions which once would have defended the public from its abuses. Education, Art, and the media have all sold out for the privilege of inclusion into the emerging corporate oligarchy. This is a book that all liberals, or anyone who believes in freedom and justice should experience. Even if Hedges' larger point is wrong, the picture he paints of contemporary liberalism is one that needs to be evaluated. 10/10

A solid performance of an excellent novel
Revisado: 03-22-15
The story itself is awesome. The narration? Its okay. The only complaint I would have is that the narrator pronounces certain words in a way that drives you mad after a while. Words like "Subarashi". Also his voice over of the character Coyote (as well as Maya in some parts) can be annoying after a while.
Overall I'd say that its a nice sequel to Red Mars, and if you liked that novel, then you'll love this one too.
