Imagining a World without Waste & Creating It

Revisado: 06-19-21

This book will help you Imagine a world where we can use technology to minimize waste – “no wasted time, no wasted minds, no wasted lives.” As the book states, “We can’t live in a world without waste unless we have perfect knowledge of almost everything.” AI, XR, and 5G will be some technologies to move us closer to more “perfect knowledge” to lower waste. Byron has a great chapter on Smart Phones and Sustainability and Waste. He states: “In the US, electronic waste accounts for just 2% of landfill volume, but that 2% accounts for 70% of all of the toxic substances in the landfill. With recycling rates of electronic waste hovering around 20%, this is a problem that will only get worse.” This chapter has encourage me to recycle all my e-waste in the future. If you care about sustainability and really making a difference to minimize waste and not just rearrange deck chairs on the Titanic, read this book.

Encouraged me to explore new concepts in science

Revisado: 10-04-20

I really liked the discussion of the No Cloning Theorem or living in a simulator. Dennis Taylor introduces a Universe that is fun and exciting and encourages the reader to be part of that world. This will be my response if someone asks if I have free will or a soul? “I choose to believe so.” Glad to explore strange new worlds.

A Big History Story of AI

Revisado: 04-25-18

What did you love best about The Fourth Age?

I am about a 3rd of the way through the book. I really like how the book gives a perspective of big history and tells a 100,000 year history of AI. I have read a number of AI books and this book complements those books very well.
