Description
Wise Animals: How Technology Has Made Us Who We Are by Tom Chatfield is a thought-provoking exploration of our relationship with technology. From the earliest use of tools to the development of AI, this deeply humanist contribution to the debate proposes that we are neither masters nor victims of our technologies. We co-evolve with technology as individuals and as a species over thousands of years. Human children know no more of modern technology than their ancestors did of older technologies, developing in relation to the technologies of their time. This book offers a fresh perspective on how our relationship with technology has shaped us into who we are today. By examining our history with technology, Chatfield reveals that our future - and theirs - is in our hands. A timely and wide-ranging exploration of the impact of technology on human society, Wise Animals is a powerful and profound contribution to the ongoing debate about our place in the world.
