"Superconvergence is brilliant. I can't recommend it more strongly."―Sanjay Gupta MD, bestselling author, neurosurgeon, and Emmy-award winning chief medical correspondent (CNN) In
Superconvergence, leading futurist and OneShared.World founder Jamie Metzl explores how artificial intelligence, genome sequencing, gene editing, and other revolutionary technologies are transforming our lives, world, and future. These accelerating and increasingly interconnected technologies have the potential to improve our health, feed billions of people, supercharge our economies, store essential information for millions of years, and save our planet, but they can also―if we are not careful―do immeasurable harm.
The challenge we face is that while our ability to engineer the world around us is advancing exponentially, our processes for understanding the scope, scale, and implications of these changes, and for managing our godlike powers wisely, are only inching forward glacially. Luckily, in Jamie Metzl, we have a leading expert who integrates science, technology, history, politics, and international affairs to envision a future that most specialists, almost by definition, cannot see. In this bold and inspiring exploration of transformative human knowledge, Metzl gives us the definitive account of the technological precipice on which we stand and the map to where we go from here.
「超級收斂」是一本令人驚豔的書。我強烈推薦它。──Sanjay Gupta MD，暢銷作家、神經外科醫生和艾美獎得主（CNN首席醫學記者）
在「超級收斂」中，領先的未來學家和OneShared.World創辦人Jamie Metzl探索了人工智能、基因組序列、基因編輯和其他革命性技術如何改變我們的生活、世界和未來。這些不斷加速且日益相互聯繫的技術有潛力改善我們的健康、為數十億人提供食物、加速我們的經濟發展、儲存數百萬年的重要信息，並拯救我們的地球，但如果我們不小心的話，它們也可能造成無法估量的傷害。
我們面臨的挑戰是，雖然我們改變周圍世界的能力正在指數級增長，但我們對這些變化的範圍、規模和影響的理解以及明智地管理我們神一般的力量的過程只在緩慢地前進。幸運的是，在Jamie Metzl身上，我們有一位領先的專家，他將科學、技術、歷史、政治和國際事務融合在一起，展望了大多數專家幾乎無法看到的未來。在這本關於轉型人類知識的大膽而激勵人心的探索中，Metzl為我們提供了關於我們所處的技術懸崖的明確描述，以及我們從這裡出發的地圖。
