Books like Dreaming the future by Clifford A. Pickover

Kurzweil explores the coming fusion of human minds with advanced machines, predicting that integrated intelligence will surpass current human capacity, shaping future society.

Explores how emerging mathematics and neuroscience can unravel the mysteries of consciousness, brain function, and the future of mind‑computer interfaces.

Michio Kaku charts humanity’s probable future as it expands beyond Earth, examining space‑colonization, terraforming, nanotechnology, and interstellar travel.

This book offers a stunning and provocative vision of the future, and explains how science will shape human destiny and everyone's daily life by the year 2100.

Brian Cox explains how quantum physics underpins our understanding of reality, from everyday phenomena to the most counter‑intuitive experiments, offering a clear, engaging guide for anyone curious about the subatomic world.

How deep learning-from Google Translate to driverless cars to personal cognitive assistants-is changing our lives and transforming every sector of the economy. The deep learning revolution has brought us driverless cars, the greatly improved Google Translate, fluent conversations with Siri and Alexa, and enormous profits from automated trading on the New York Stock Exchange. Deep learning networks can play poker better than professional poker players and defeat a world champion at Go. In this book, Terry Sejnowski explains how deep learning went from being an arcane academic field to a disruptive technology in the information economy. Sejnowski played an important role in the founding of deep learning, as one of a small group of researchers in the 1980s who challenged the prevailing logic-and-symbol based version of AI. The new version of AI Sejnowski and others developed, which became deep learning, is fueled instead by data. Deep networks learn from data in the same way that babies experience the world, starting with fresh eyes and gradually acquiring the skills needed to navigate novel environments. Learning algorithms extract information from raw data; information can be used to create knowledge; knowledge underlies understanding; understanding leads to wisdom. Someday a driverless car will know the road better than you do and drive with more skill; a deep learning network will diagnose your illness; a personal cognitive assistant will augment your puny human brain. It took nature many millions of years to evolve human intelligence; AI is on a trajectory measured in decades. Sejnowski prepares us for a deep learning future.

"From palmistry and dice to sun signs and Egyptian tablets, a collection of ancient oracles that reveal your true destiny"--Cover.

-- How to Create a Mind Kurzweil discusses how the brain functions, how the mind emerges from the brain, and the implications of vastly increasing the powers of our intelligence in addressing the world?s problems. He thoughtfully examines emotional and moral intelligence and the origins of consciousness and envisions the radical possibilities of our merging with the intelligent technology we are creating. Certain to be one of the most widely discussed and debated science books of the year, How to Create a Mind.
