The Ascent of Information Books, Bits, Genes, Machines, and Life's Unending Algorithm by Caleb Scharf | 2.85 MB
English | N/A Pages
Title: The Ascent of Information
Author: Caleb Scharf
Year: 2021
Description:
Your information has a life of its own, and it's using you to get what it wants.
One of the most peculiar and possibly unique features of humans is the vast amount of information we carry outside our biological selves. But in our rush to build the infrastructure for the 20 quintillion bits we create every day, we've failed to ask exactly why we're expending ever-increasing amounts of energy, resources, and human effort to maintain all this data.
Drawing on deep ideas and frontier thinking in evolutionary biology, computer science, information theory, and astrobiology, Caleb Scharf argues that information is, in a very real sense, alive. All the data we create-all of our emails, tweets, selfies, A.I.-generated text and funny cat videos-amounts to an aggregate lifeform. It has goals and needs. It can control our behavior and influence our well-being. And it's an organism that has evolved right alongside us.
