About this product

Product Information

Virtually Human explores what the not-too-distant future will look like when cyberconsciousness--simulation of the human brain via software and computer technology--becomes part of our daily lives. Meet Bina48, the world's most sentient robot, commissioned by Martine Rothblatt and created by Hanson Robotics. Bina48 is a nascent Mindclone of Martine's wife that can engage in conversation, answer questions, and even have spontaneous thoughts that are derived from multimedia data in a Mindfile created by the real Bina. If you're active on Twitter or Facebook, share photos through Instagram, or blogging regularly, you're already on your way to creating a Mindfile--a digital database of your thoughts, memories, feelings, and opinions that is essentially a back-up copy of your mind. Soon, this Mindfile can be made conscious with special software--Mindware--that mimics the way human brains organize information, create emotions and achieve self-awareness. This may sound like science-fiction, but the nascent technology already exists. Thousands of software engineers across the globe are working to create cyberconsciousness based on human consciousness and the Obama administration recently announced plans to invest in a decade-long Brain Activity Map project. Virtually Human is the only audiobook to examine the ethical issues relating to cyberconsciousness and Rothblatt, with a Ph.D. in medical ethics, is uniquely qualified to lead the dialogue.

    Book was shipped quickly, securely packaged, and better than the pictures. Great value for an addition to my encyclopedia. Seller responded quickly and sent over additional photos upon request. Would absolutely buy from seller again.

    Ordered Naomi book, the condition of both books is/was great. I am a collector and fan, so this was a deal, as others were selling this at ridiculous prices. I was also surprised the large pink Naomi box was included, and wasn’t expecting it. Quality, as described, quick delivery. Would shop this seller again.

    Like new just as described. I really appreciate the packaging of this book prior to shipment. My book wasn’t just thrown into some plastic bag. I do appreciate that so keep it up seller. A+
