The author argues that the rapid pace of technological change has led to a loss of control over the technologies we create and use, and that we need to develop a new paradigm for understanding and managing technology in order to ensure our survival and the unity of humanity. The book begins by discussing the history of technology and how it has evolved over time, from the earliest tools to the most advanced machines. The author highlights the exponential growth of technology and how it has transformed society, economy, and politics. However, the author also notes that this rapid pace of technological change has led to a loss of control over the technologies we create and use, and that we are now facing the consequences of this lack of control. The author then goes on to explore the concept of the technological singularity, which refers to the idea that technology will eventually surpass human intelligence and become self-aware. The author argues that this eventuality is not only possible but also inevitable, and that we must prepare ourselves for this future. The author also explores the potential benefits and risks of the technological singularity, including the possibility of unprecedented advancements in fields such as medicine, energy, and transportation, but also the risk of losing control over our own creations.
