Named one of The New Yorker's BEST BOOKS OF 2022 SO FAR The next frontier in technology is inside our own bodies. Synthetic biology will revolutionize how we define family, how we identify disease and treat aging, where we make our homes, and how we nourish ourselves. This fast-growing field—which uses computers to modify or rewrite genetic code—has created revolutionary, groundbreaking solutions such as the mRNA COVID vaccines, IVF, and lab-grown hamburger that tastes like the real thing. It gives us options to deal with existential threats: climate change, food insecurity, and access to fuel. But there are significant risks. Who should decide how to engineer living organisms? Whether engineered organisms should be planted, farmed, and released into the wild? Should there be limits to human enhancements? What cyber-biological risks are looming? Could a future biological war, using engineered organisms, cause a mass extinction event? Amy Webb and Andrew Hessel’s riveting examination of synthetic biology and the bioeconomy provide the background for thinking through the upcoming risks and moral dilemmas posed by redesigning life, as well as the vast opportunities waiting for us on the horizon.

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 Bill, a student in Duxbury, Massachusetts, was a gifted student with wide-ranging interests in photography, math, and journalism. But in other ways, he was unremarkable. He was constantly thirsty, and his parents took him to the doctor, who found that his blood sugar was elevated. #2 Bill’s parents were told that it was just bad genes, but there was a silver lining: a treatment regimen that would require him to manually perform all the tasks that his body should have been doing automatically. #3 The clinical symptoms of type 1 diabetes were first recorded some 3,000 years ago in Egypt. It was another 1,500 years before Aretaeus, a Cappadocian physician who spoke Greek, described a melting down of the flesh and limbs into urine, a condition he named diabetes after the Greek word for siphon. #4 The treatment worked in dogs, and it was later used on humans. It was the discovery of insulin that changed the course of life for millions of people worldwide.

A professor of computer science at a northern North Dakota university, Will Francis specializes in the study of Artificial Life (AL which he sometimes refers to Actual Life). As he and his graduate-student laboratory work on various approaches to the creation of new life using computers he and they (mostly him) discover a highly dynamic field of those wishing to take advantage of his successes for illegitimate purposes and those wishing to put him out of business for religious and philosophical reasons. As he gains more widespread notoriety reactions become more dangerous and deadly chasing him to Canada, New York City, and the North Atlantic and from traditional computers to analog and quantum varieties. As time progresses we learn how life may have been created on Earth as well as many alternate versions of the genesis of life via mathematics, accidents, biochemistry, and biodiversity. It's a grand journey with a remarkable ending that will surprise even those most hardened of readers who think they have it nailed before getting there. Welcome to a humankind bent on suiciding its own existence for reasons no one seems able to explain.

Brad Clifford's theory was just applied mathematics -- but its implications were too hot for the frozen minds of his superiors. So they buried it -- and him -- under wraps of secrecy. Then Aubrey Philipsz, iconoclast and fellow genius, appeared on the scene to build the Genesis Machine Clifford's theory made possible. Suddenly, all weapons seemed useless before the previously unimagined power of the Genesis Machine. It could wreck a world or save it -- and the men who ruled that world on a path of disaster now fought to gain control of this new force. But Clifford and Philipsz had another goal, another dream. They were reaching for the stars! "In the grand tradition of the classic super-science stories, but with more exciting science and with better writing, too. What more can anyone want?" -- Isaac Asimov

A call-to-arms about the broken nature of artificial intelligence, and the powerful corporations that are turning the human-machine relationship on its head. We like to think that we are in control of the future of "artificial" intelligence. The reality, though, is that we -- the everyday people whose data powers AI -- aren't actually in control of anything. When, for example, we speak with Alexa, we contribute that data to a system we can't see and have no input into -- one largely free from regulation or oversight. The big nine corporations -- Amazon, Google, Facebook, Tencent, Baidu, Alibaba, Microsoft, IBM and Apple--are the new gods of AI and are short-changing our futures to reap immediate financial gain. In this book, Amy Webb reveals the pervasive, invisible ways in which the foundations of AI -- the people working on the system, their motivations, the technology itself -- is broken. Within our lifetimes, AI will, by design, begin to behave unpredictably, thinking and acting in ways which defy human logic. The big nine corporations may be inadvertently building and enabling vast arrays of intelligent systems that don't share our motivations, desires, or hopes for the future of humanity. Much more than a passionate, human-centered call-to-arms, this book delivers a strategy for changing course, and provides a path for liberating us from algorithmic decision-makers and powerful corporations.

A Fast Company best book of the yearA Washington Post bestsellerWinner of the 2017 Axiom Business Book Award in Business Technology How do you tell a real trend from the merely trendy? How, for example, will a technology--like artificial intelligence, machine learning, self-driving cars, biohacking, bots, and the Internet of Things--affect us, our businesses, and workplaces? How will it eventually change the way we live, work, play, and think--and how should we prepare for it now? In The Signals Are Talking, noted futurist Amy Webb shows us how to analyze the "true signals"--those patterns that will coalesce into a trend with the potential to change everything-and land on the right side of disruption. The future, Webb shows, isn't something that happens to us passively. Using a proven, tested methodology, she enables us to see ahead and forecast what's to come--challenging us to create our own preferred futures.
