Poverty, hunger, disease and political strife are widespread, and new technology is often held responsible, but now solutions to these problems are within sight, and the solutions are going to come from computers.
The authors' astonishing conclusion stems not from wishful thinking but from recent discoveries in the field of machine intelligence - that computers genuinely create new knowledge in a way that was long thought impossible.
This has profound implications not just for science but for the arts, philosophy, psychology, ethics and politics: in short, for every aspect of our society. The authors, a world-renowned research scientist in the field and a leading science journalist, address all these issues in a highly readable and thought-provoking way.
The cover photograph shows a still from the computer-animated film 9600 Bauds by Hervé Huitric and Monique Nahas
