How developments in science and technology may enable the emergence of purely digital minds-intelligent machines equal to or greater in power than the human brain.

This book is a delightful romp through computer science, biology, physics, and much else, all unified by the question: What is the future of intelligence? Few books this ambitious manage to pull it off, but this one does. - Pedro Domingos, Professor of Computer Science, University of Washington; author of The Master Algorithm
