Are we really on the brink of having robots to mop our floors,
do our dishes, mow our lawns, and clean our windows? And are
researchers that close to creating robots that can think, feel,
repair themselves, and even reproduce?
Rodney A. Brooks, director of the MIT Artificial Intelligence
Laboratory believes we are. In this lucid and accessible book,
Brooks vividly depicts the history of robots and explores the
ever-changing relationships between humans and their technological
brethren, speculating on the growing role that robots will play in
our existence. Knowing the moral battle likely to ensue, he posits
a clear philosophical argument as to why we should not fear that
change. What results is a fascinating book that offers a deeper
understanding of who we are and how we can control what we will
become.
