[ED: Taschenbuch], [PU: VDM Verlag], Neuware - Robotics, genetic engineering, virtual realities...we are ona quest to accelerate the evolution of the human race. But what are the costs Philip K. Dick, one of the most important science fiction writers of the 20th century, was always concerned with hownew technologies were endangering the essence of the human. He feared that human integration with these technologies would not only prevent evolution but hold deadly consequences for the future of humanity. This study traces those fears through some of his best novels, and finds in these novels an alternative evolutionary path that does not rely on technological advancement. His world view isoften characterized merely as paranoid, but his fiction possesses an equally idealistic view of the future, and this study endeavors to un earth that less explored view. This study will be of interest to fans of Philip K. Dick and science fiction in general, and to anyone interested in how advanced technologies are directing ourevolution, and whether there may be an alternative to that evolution we have yet to consider, a path that may finally lead thehuman race to the spiritual transcendence it has sought for thousands of years., DE, [SC: 2.00], Neuware, gewerbliches Angebot, 220x150x7 mm, 116, [GW: 189g], PayPal, Offene Rechnung, Banküberweisung, Sofortüberweisung, Internationaler Versand<

Robotics, genetic engineering, virtual realities...we are on a quest to accelerate the evolution of the human race. But what are the costs? Philip K. Dick, one of the most important science fiction writers of the 20th century, was always concerned with how new technologies were endangering the essence of the human. He feared that human integration with these technologies would not only prevent evolution but hold deadly consequences for the future of humanity. This study traces those fears through some of his best novels, and finds in these novels an alternative evolutionary path that does not rely on technological advancement. His worldview is often characterized merely as paranoid, but his fiction possesses an equally idealistic view of the future, and this study endeavors to unearth that less explored view. This study will be of interest to fans of Philip K. Dick and science fiction in general, and to anyone interested in how advanced technologies are directing our evolution, and whether there may be an alternative to that evolution we have yet to consider, a path that may finally lead the human race to the spiritual transcendence it has sought for thousands of years.
