Analogia: The Emergence of Technology Beyond Programmable Control

Fakta

A technology historian presents a startling look back at the analog age and life before the digital revolution—and an unsettling vision of what comes next.

Named one of WIRED’s “The Best Pop Culture That Got Us Through 2020”

“A pleasingly eccentric, impossibly wide-ranging tech treatise/memoir. . . . A thoughtful—and most thought-provoking—exploration of where our inventions have taken and will take us.” —Kirkus Reviews (starred review)

In 1716, the philosopher and mathematician Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz spent eight days taking the cure with Peter the Great at Bad Pyrmont in Saxony, trying to persuade the tsar to launch a voyage of discovery from Russia to America and to adopt digital computing as the foundation for a remaking of life on earth. In two classic books, Darwin Among the Machines and Turing’s Cathedral, George Dyson chronicled the realization of the second of Leibniz’s visions. In Analogia, his pathbreaking new book, he brings the story full circle, starting with the Russian American expedition of 1741 and ending with the beyond-digital revolution that will complete the transformation of the world.

Dyson enlists a startling cast of characters, from the time of Catherine the Great to the age of machine intelligence, and draws heavily on his own experiences at the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton, New Jersey, and onward to the rain forest of the Northwest Coast. We are, Dyson reveals, entering a new epoch in human history, one driven by a generation of machines whose powers are no longer under programmable control.

Includes black-and-white illustrations

“An Odyssey of discovery . . . part autobiography, part science manual, part history book.” —Izabella Kaminska, The Financial Times

“A work of originality and ambition unlike any you’ve encountered. George Dyson transmutes memoir, history, and forecast into a page-turning tale in which Geronimo, J. Robert Oppenheimer, Catherine the Great, Kurt Gödel, and Steller’s sea cow play roles. . . . Analogia offers more serious fun than a dozen of the usual bestsellers.”―William Poundstone, author of The Doomsday Calculation
