This book provides an in-depth reflection on the "future" in a multi-dimensional and three-dimensional way. It defines and reconstructs the "future" for everyone from the perspectives of human nature, philosophy and technology, and sets up a new field and provides direction for how we move towards and embrace the future.
The book is divided into three parts: the cause of human liberation, the cause of human construction, and the opportunities and challenges of human construction, with a total of fifteen chapters. The author quotes extensively and philosophically in the book, which is not only based on the research and discussion of building a global energy Internet, but also explores future trends from era propositions such as the Internet age, scientific and technological revolution, and artificial intelligence.
The whole book is full of concern for people or humanity, full of philosophical speculation and rational analysis of the development of science and technology. It broadens the horizons and reaches the heart at the same time, which makes people feel shocked after reading it.
"Encountering the Future" is very rich in content, including the grasp, analysis and prediction of science and technology, the integration of various philosophical thoughts, and the author's research results on subjects such as physics, which integrates Western philosophy, traditional Chinese Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism, etc. In the complex but clear narrative, this book always focuses on the ultimate proposition of mankind: Who am I? Where does it come from? Where to go?
In the book, the author abandoned the relatively mechanical theory of evolution, based on the development theoretical system, and used prediction methods to analyze that we are about to bid farewell to the era of material shortages, and humans will mutate from animals alienated by limited resources, labor necessity, and limited life into superhuman beings. He also analyzes that the key driving role in this is science and technology. Technology has entered the quantum age, and the curtain of the "future" is opening up to mankind. Science and technology, in the form of the Internet, big data, artificial intelligence, etc., Have broken out of the hands of mankind and are reshaping the world, reshaping mankind, and reshaping all ideologies and concepts. In this process of reconstruction, human beings will either upgrade to supermen or create supermen, and the entire world will eventually become a superman's world.
Reader comments
This book is very interesting and offers multiple perspectives on the future. The characters in the book have distinct personalities and unique experiences. I especially like the author's rational analysis of technological development, which makes me full of expectations for the future. However, I kind of hate that character who just gets by. We should face the future positively instead of escaping. Overall, this is a good book that broadens people's horizons and is worth reading.
