A. Ershov, V. V. Zhilinsky, and E. B. Shirley. The book "Принципы параллельного программирования" (Principles of Parallel Programming) by A. A. Ershov, V. V. Zhilinsky, and E. B. Shirley provides a comprehensive overview of the principles and techniques of parallel programming, which is essential for understanding the process of technology evolution and its impact on modern society. The authors argue that the development of parallel programming is not only a technical necessity but also a fundamental requirement for the survival of humanity in the face of increasingly complex technologies. The book begins by discussing the concept of technology evolution and its impact on human history. The authors contend that technology has always been a driving force behind human progress, from the invention of the wheel to the development of the internet. However, as technology becomes more complex and interconnected, it is becoming increasingly difficult to understand and control. This complexity is leading to a growing sense of disconnection and fragmentation among people, which threatens the very survival of humanity.
