Op honderdjarige leeftijd heeft James Lovelock het belangrijkste en meest fascinerende werk van zijn leven geschreven: een nieuwe theorie over de toekomst van het leven op aarde. James Lovelock komt in Novaceen met een nieuwe theorie over de toekomst van het leven op aarde. Lovelock, de schepper van de Gaia-hypothese, auteur van de wereldwijde bestseller Gaia, en de grootste denker over milieu van onze tijd, betoogt dat het Antropoceen – het tijdperk waarin de mens met technologie over de wereld begon te heersen – na 300 jaar ten einde is. Een nieuw tijdperk is al begonnen. Welkom in het Novaceen. Kunstmatige intelligentie zal nieuwe levensvormen creëren. Ze zullen 10 000 keer sneller denken dan wij en ze zullen ons beschouwen zoals wij planten beschouwen: als hopeloos traag werkende en denkende mechanismen. Maar dat betekent niet dat de mens een gewelddadig einde tegemoet gaat. Deze hyperintelligente wezens zullen net zo afhankelijk zijn van de gezondheid van de planeet als wij. Op honderdjarige leeftijd heeft James Lovelock het belangrijkste en meest fascinerende werk van zijn leven geschreven.

Nederland is een kunstland. Wonen op een oude zeebodem vinden wij hier heel gewoon, maar het is uniek in de wereld. Vier meter (of meer) onder zeeniveau krioelt het in ons land van de bedrijvigheid. Daar tussendoor wenkt de geschiedenis de zorgvuldige kijker. In deze bundel neemt Karel Feenstra ons mee in het verhaal van ons land en het water. Grote historische lijnen en alledaagse observaties komen samen in dit literaire borduurwerk dat - net als de Flevowand in het Flevomuseum - in trefzekere steken de ziel van ons bijzondere land blootlegt. Van de Swifterbantcultuur reizen we over de polders van onze tijd langs terpen, wierden, verdronken dorpen, Hanzesteden, droogmakerijen, dijken, waterwerken, Deltawerken. En wie waren de mensen van wie de namen verloren gingen, maar op wiens schouders onze geschiedenis nog altijd rust? Hoog water is een rijke bundel korte verhalen die elk op zichzelf staan, en samen een verhaal vormen.

In twenty short books, Penguin brings you the classics of the environmental movement. James Lovelock's We Belong to Gaia draws on decades of wisdom to lay out the history of our remarkable planet, to show that it is not ours to be exploited - and warns us that it is fighting back. Over the past 75 years, a new canon has emerged. As life on Earth has become irrevocably altered by humans, visionary thinkers around the world have raised their voices to defend the planet, and affirm our place at the heart of its restoration. Their words have endured through the decades, becoming the classics of a movement. Together, these books show the richness of environmental thought, and point the way to a fairer, saner, greener world.

A fascinating new study from the originator of the Gaia Theory, “who conceived the first wholly new way of looking at life on earth since Charles Darwin” (Independent) One of the world’s leading scientific thinkers offers a vision of a future epoch in which humans and artificial intelligence unite to save the Earth. James Lovelock, creator of the Gaia hypothesis and the greatest environmental thinker of our time, has produced an astounding new theory about future of life on Earth. He argues that the Anthropocene—the age in which humans acquired planetary-scale technologies—is, after 300 years, coming to an end. A new age—the Novacene—has already begun. In the Novacene, new beings will emerge from existing artificial intelligence systems. They will think 10,000 times faster than we do and they will regard us as we now regard plants. But this will not be the cruel, violent machine takeover of the planet imagined by science fiction. These hyperintelligent beings will be as dependent on the health of the planet as we are. They will need the planetary cooling system of Gaia to defend them from the increasing heat of the sun as much as we do. And Gaia depends on organic life. We will be partners in this project. It is crucial, Lovelock argues, that the intelligence of Earth survives and prospers. He does not think there are intelligent aliens, so we are the only beings capable of understanding the cosmos. Perhaps, he speculates, the Novacene could even be the beginning of a process that will finally lead to intelligence suffusing the entire cosmos. At the age of 100, James Lovelock has produced the most important and compelling work of his life.

In A Rough Ride to the Future, James Lovelock - the great scientific visionary of our age - presents a radical vision of humanity's future as the thinking brain of our Earth-system James Lovelock, who has been hailed as 'the man who conceived the first wholly new way of looking at life on earth since Charles Darwin' (Independent) and 'the most profound scientific thinker of our time' (Literary Review) continues, in his 95th year, to be the great scientific visionary of our age. This book introduces two new Lovelockian ideas. The first is that three hundred years ago, when Thomas Newcomen invented the steam engine, he was unknowingly beginning what Lovelock calls 'accelerated evolution', a process which is bringing about change on our planet roughly a million times faster than Darwinian evolution. The second is that as part of this process, humanity has the capacity to become the intelligent part of Gaia, the self-regulating Earth system whose discovery Lovelock first announced nearly 50 years ago. In addition, Lovelock gives his reflections on how scientific advances are made, and his own remarkable life as a lone scientist. The contribution of human beings to our planet is, Lovelock contends, similar to that of the early photosynthesisers around 3.4 billion years ago, which made the Earth's atmosphere what it was until very recently. By our domination and our invention, we are now changing the atmosphere again. There is little that can be done about this, but instead of feeling guilty about it we should recognise what is happening, prepare for change, and ensure that we survive as a species so we can contribute to - perhaps even guide - the next evolution of Gaia. The road will be rough, but if we are smart enough life will continue on Earth in some form far into the future. Elected a Fellow of the Royal Society in 1974, JAMES LOVELOCK is the author of more than 200 scientific papers and the originator of the Gaia Hypothesis (now Gaia Theory). His many books on the subject include Gaia: A New Look at Life on Earth (1979), The Revenge of Gaia (2006), and The Vanishing Face of Gaia (2009). In 2003 he was made a Companion of Honour by Her Majesty the Queen, in 2005 Prospect magazine named him one of the world's top 100 public intellectuals, and in 2006 he received the Wollaston Medal, the highest Award of the UK Geological Society.
