Susan Hockfield - The age of living machines.

 

" Bringing people together around a shared ambition amplifies their impact "

 

The convergence of biology and engineering has already given us : virus-made batteries, protein-based water filters, nanoparticles that can help detect and cure cancer, brain-powered prostheses, and computer mediated crop selection.

 

This book is both prescient and hopeful it will be interesting to see what the human reaction to this technology will be  but I am more interested in the human reaction to this technology than technology itself.

 

This book is both prescient and optimistic and makes a compelling case for the convergence 2.0 but I am more interested in the human reaction to this technology than the technology itself. 

 

This book is both prescient and optimistic and makes a compelling case for convergence 2.0. It will be interesting to see what the human reaction to these technologies will be rather than just implementing them. The future however both for arts and science will be brighter if we manage to merge the fields of science, arts, ethics and psychology together into something bigger than us.
