Neredukovatelné - Vědomí, život, počítače a lidská přirozenost – Faggin Federico (2025)

Federico Faggin is one of the most significant contemporary figures in the field of cutting-edge technology. Educated as a physicist, he became famous for inventing the world's first microprocessor (at Intel) and the technology of MOS silicon gates, which are the foundation of all information technology in the modern world. Equipped with knowledge and lifelong experience in leading technological fields, Faggin has now turned his attention to consciousness and the nature of reality, sharing with us his profound insights into the classical and quantum worlds, artificial intelligence, life, and the human mind. In this book, he elaborates on the model of reality he has developed after years of research, deep thinking, and direct experience. According to this model, the most fundamental level of nature is consciousness as a quantum phenomenon, while the classical physical world consists only of evocative symbols of a deeper reality. Faggin is also the recipient of many awards, notably the highest American honor for scientists and inventors - the National Medal of Technology and Innovation - awarded by President Barack Obama in 2009, the European Inventor Award 2006, and the Enrico Fermi Award, which he received from the Italian Physical Society in 2014.
