Beschreibung

<p><b>From the <i>New York Times</i> bestselling authors of <i>Abundance</i>, <i>Bold</i>, and <i>The Future Is Faster Than You Think </i>comes a bold exploration of what it means to stay human in a world where technology has granted us godlike power.</b><br><br><b>'Timely and important' Eric Schmidt</b><br><b>'A manual for optimizing our destiny' Ray Kurzweil</b><br><b>'An extraordinary blueprint for hope' Mo Gawdat</b><br><br>In 1968, Stewart Brand declared: 'We are as gods - and we might as well get good at it.' Half a century later, that prophecy has come true.<br><br>We can rewrite genes, edit embryos, build artificial minds, extend life, and terraform worlds. The old miracles - omniscience, omnipresence, even resurrection - are becoming standard operating procedure. But the real question isn't whether humanity can play god. It's whether we can do it wisely.<br><br>In this book, the bestselling authors of <i>Abundance </i>and <i>Bold </i>return with a sweeping exploration of our species' next great transformation. Blending hard science with vivid storytelling, Peter Diamandis and Steven Kotler chart humanity's ascent from scarcity to superabundance - and the psychological, ethical, and existential challenges that come with it.<br><br>Across breakthroughs in AI, robotics, genetics, longevity, and consciousness research, they reveal a paradox at the heart of progress: as our external power expands, our inner resilience must evolve to match. Abundance without meaning leads to collapse. Intelligence without wisdom leads to extinction. To thrive in a world of everything, everywhere, all the time, we must learn to wield our godlike powers with humility, creativity, and flow.<br><br>Equal parts warning and invitation, <i>We Are As Gods</i> is a map for flourishing in the exponential century. Because the future won't be built by those who fear what's coming, but by those who know how to turn chaos into creation.<br><br>Abundance is here. Are you ready?</p>
