Review
Here's a mesmerizing account of the evolution of machines and thoughts about machines, woven into a story about the evolution of intelligence. Darwin Among the Machines is not so much about how today's intelligence came to be, but about how it may further develop as humanity and computer grow closer together. George Dyson tells the story largely through stories--both historical and legendary--from the lives of scientists and philosophers who paved the way for today's cybernetics revolution, starting with the 17th-century insights of Thomas Hobbes. This book challenges the assumption that nature and machine are opposing forces. Dyson believes them to be allies.
About the Author
George B. Dyson was born in 1953, the year that Nils Barricelli first used John von Neumann’s electronic computer at the Institute for Advanced Study, where Dyson spent his childhood, to perform experiments with artificial evolution and artificial life. He has been keeping watch on the relationship between nature and technology ever since.
