81. Peter Suber, "Review Of George Dyson" Review of george Dyson, darwin Among The Machines Peter Suber, PhilosophyDepartment, Earlham College. george B. Dyson, darwin Among http://www.earlham.edu/~peters/writing/dyson.htm

This review is forthcoming from the American Philosophical Association's Newletter on Philosophy and Computers Review of George Dyson, Darwin Among The Machines Peter Suber Philosophy Department Earlham College George B. Dyson, Darwin Among the Machines: The Evolution of Global Intelligence , Perseus Books, 1997. Dyson's book is an argument disguised as an intellectual history. The argument is that all intelligence is collective, in the way that human intelligence emerges from the collection of unintelligent neurons, and that a global collective intelligence is now emerging from the growing interconnections among human beings and their machines. The history traces the rise of computation and thinking about machine intelligence from Hobbes to the present. The history is fascinating and detailed. The thesis about collective intelligence is fascinating but lacking the detail which would make it more than merely suggestive. As parts of the history, Dyson eventually discusses many examples of collectives with emergent problem-solving abilities which exceed the abilities of their separate components. Apart from the example of brains, he considers Hobbes' Leviathan, networks of human calculators, free-market economies, and the evolution of multi-celled organisms. At the end of each chapter, Dyson draws lessons for his growing thesis about evolution, collectives, emergence, life, and intelligence. Because these chapter-closing reflections explicate the book's title and subtitle better than the historical story, one concludes that Dyson is telling the history for the sake of this thesis, and not the other way around.

Home Catalogue Related Areas: Canto New titles Email For updates on new titles in: Genius Explained Michael J. A. Howe In stock In Genius Explained Michael J. A. Howe addresses the commonly held belief that genius is born not made. Controversially he suggests that genius is not a mysterious and mystical gift but the product of a combination of environment, personality and sheer hard work. The exceptional talents of those we call geniuses are the result of a unique set of circumstances and opportunities, but in every case they are pursued and exploited with a characteristic drive, determination and focus which the rest of us rarely show. Michael J. A. Howe develops these ideas through a series of case studies focusing on famous figures such as Charles Darwin, George Eliot, George Stevenson, the Brontë sisters, Michael Faraday and Albert Einstein in this fascinating and accessible book which will be of interest to academics, students and the interested lay reader. Reviews ‘ an enjoyable and informative book His insights are thought-provoking This argument, worked through the case histories, is not only impressive but encouraging, opening the way up to all of us and our children.’Galton Institute Newsletter ‘The richness of Howe’s examples and his clear flowing writing style, recommend this book for serious popular readers.’Contemporary Psychology
