How did we end up here, masters of scientific insight, purveyors of ever more powerful technologies, astride the burning planet that created us, and now responsible for cleaning up the mess and determining the future direction of all of life? And what do we do about it? Technology is Dead is a book that attempts to answer both of those questions. It is a book of both challenge and hope, written for those who are able or willing to lead us out of our global predicament.

In this illuminating collection of interviews, Noam Chomsky shares his insights on the pressing challenges facing humanity.

Machen, verbessern, Menschsein: Argumente gegen den Pessimismus unserer Zeit Die Angst vor dem Klimawandel, wirtschaftlichem Niedergang oder unberechenbaren Technologien beherrscht zu oft unser Denken. Statt mit dem Besten rechnen wir mit dem Schlimmsten und unterschätzen dabei die Kraft, mit der laufend gewaltige Fortschritte gemacht werden. Nicht als Verhängnis, sondern als Möglichkeit erzählt Ullrich Fichtner, einer der renommiertesten Journalisten des Landes, was uns in den kommenden Jahrzehnten erwartet.

The rate of change is accelerating, the future is increasingly unpredictable, and we're overwhelmed with mind-boggling complexity. We have less and less time to think, less and less time to get in sync with what's happening. We cannot trust conventional wisdom to guide us. We must resolve many long-standing paradoxes between long or short-term thinking, expedient or ethical choices, the individual or the collective. We must be prepared for whatever emerges.

Wird der Mensch in wenigen Jahren von der Technik vollständig ersetzt? Was geschieht, wenn die künstliche Intelligenz wahres Bewusstsein erfährt? Was haben die jahrtausendealten ägyptischen Hochkulturen mit der heutigen Entwicklung zu tun? Gibt es einen übergeordneten Plan, die Menschheit auszurotten oder wird die Zukunft golden?
