Description
A technological vision of the future from the author of the Gaia theory. In the present, when human activity is generally considered the most influential planetary factor, the term Anthropocene has become established. However, according to the legendary thinker and scientist James Lovelock, this era is already coming to an end. Humanity has entered the age of Novacene — an era defined by supercomputers and artificial intelligence; a time from which much more capable 'beings' than humans will emerge. But even this new kind will need a healthy Earth and its functional temperature regulation, just like humans do. Just as many times before, James Lovelock, even at the age of one hundred, presents an exceedingly provocative thesis that seems to be in direct contradiction to his most famous theory — the hypothesis of the living planet Earth, which must cope with civilizational threats. However, this is really just an illusion: Lovelock includes everything in the planetary system, including future technologies. Civilization becomes part of the organism.
