Produktbeschreibung

Is man still relevant? A provocation - technological evolution and human existence The world is changing rapidly - algorithms are making decisions, machines are taking on tasks that were once reserved for humans, and artificial intelligence is developing at a breathtaking pace. But what does that mean for us as a species? Are humans still relevant or are they being challenged by their own technological creation? This book poses uncomfortable questions and invites you to reflect deeply on the future of human existence. In a fascinating combination of philosophy, science and technology, it analyzes in an understandable way how the digital revolution is changing our identity, our job market and our ethical standards. For all those who are grappling with the big questions of our time: Are humans masters of their future - or are we heading inexorably towards a new era in which humans themselves become marginal figures? A rousing and provocative non-fiction book for all those who not only want to observe technological progress, but also actively consider it and possibly help shape it.

Autorenporträt

Hermann Selchow, Jahrgang 1956, wurde in Schleswig-Holstein geboren. Er wuchs in einer mittelgroßen Stadt in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern auf. Schon in frühen Kindertagen war er vernarrt in Literatur. Vor allem hatten es ihm die klassische Literatur, aber auch Sachbücher und Philosophie angetan. Die Heldensagen und Schreiber der griechischen Antike sind eine alte Liebe. Kein Wunder also, dass er diesen Themen seine ersten Bücher widmete. In seiner Jugend unternahm er erste Gehversuche in der Schreiberei und veröffentlichte einige Kurzerzählungen in einigen Magazinen. Später arbeitete er viele Jahre an einem bekannten Theater in Deutschland, wo er diese Liebe ausleben und zum Beruf machen konnte. Er machte sich dann einige Jahre artfremd selbstständig. Im Alter von 67 Jahren traute er sich dann wieder öffentlich, als Autor aktiv zu werden. Er lebt in der Nähe von Hamburg. Hermann Selchow veröffentlichte inzwischen mehrere Bücher zu aktuellen und zeitbezogenen Themen. Dabei versucht er seinen eigenen Blickwinkel auf die Geschehnisse der Gegenwart und jüngeren Vergangenheit zu finden, ohne die möglichen Ursachen aus den Augen zu verlieren oder zu verfälschen. ====================================== Hermann Selchow, born in 1956, was born in Schleswig-Holstein, Germany. He grew up in a medium-sized town in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania. Even as a child, he was infatuated with literature. He was particularly fond of classical literature, but also non-fiction and philosophy. The heroic sagas and writers of ancient Greece are an old love. It is therefore no wonder that he dedicated his first books to these subjects. In his youth, he took his first steps in writing and published a few short stories in a few magazines. Later, he worked for many years at a well-known theater in Germany, where he was able to live out this love and turn it into a career. He then went into business for himself for a few years. At the age of 67, he dared to become a public author again. He lives near Hamburg. Hermann Selchow has since published several books on current and contemporary topics. In doing so, he tries to find his own perspective on the events of the present and recent past, without losing sight of the possible causes or distorting them.
