Jeff Hawkins, the man who created the PalmPilot, Treo smart phone, and other handheld devices, has reshaped our relationship to computers. Now he stands ready to revolutionize both neuroscience and computing in one stroke, with a new understanding of intelligence itself.

Incredibly interesting.
Revisado: 02-10-20
Extremely sensible and concise view on intelligence. I can't believe I'm just hearing about it now. I would be very surprised if our accurate theory of intelligence in the future didn't sound at least similar to this.

Historia4.5 out of 5 stars 1,631
Sean Carroll, theoretical physicist and one of this world’s most celebrated writers on science, rewrites the history of 20th-century physics. Already hailed as a masterpiece, Something Deeply Hidden shows for the first time that facing up to the essential puzzle of quantum mechanics utterly transforms how we think about space and time. His reconciling of quantum mechanics with Einstein’s theory of relativity changes, well, everything. Most physicists haven’t even recognized the uncomfortable truth: Physics has been in crisis since 1927.

Genius.

Sean is not just a public physicists. He is not only in tune with the most cutting edge (and most likely to be successful) physical theories, but he is actually doing the gritty mathematical work to grok them out. I highly recommend this to anyone who is interested in not just quantum theory, but also its reconciliation with classical physics.

Historia4.5 out of 5 stars 312
Author of the New York Times best seller The Beginning of Infinity, David Deutsch, explores the four most fundamental strands of human knowledge: quantum physics, and the theories of knowledge, computation, and evolution - and their unexpected connections. Taken together, these four strands reveal a deeply integrated, rational, and optimistic worldview. It describes a unified fabric of reality that is objective and comprehensible, in which human action and thought are central.

Don't listen to the bad reviews, it just went over their heads. It's worth it.

Historia4 out of 5 stars 112
One of our most renowned and brilliant historians takes a fresh look at the revolutionary intellectual movement that laid the foundation for the modern world. Liberty and equality. Human rights. Freedom of thought and expression. Belief in reason and progress. The value of scientific inquiry. These are just some of the ideas that were conceived and developed during the Enlightenment, and which changed forever the intellectual landscape of the Western world.

Decent
Revisado: 06-29-19
First, it was read way way way too fast. Before you even begin, turn it down to 80-85% speed. That pretty much fixes the problem. Then, the actual content is decent. He starts over at the beginning of the enlightenment in every chapter and goes through how another theme developed. It was pretty cool. Near the end he goes off a little bit on some post-modern kick, which was whatever. Overall, it was pretty good, I do think it was worth it. I also think this should not be the only book on the enlightenment and how/why it happened that you listen to or read, especially if you're really interested in the topic.

A bold and all-embracing exploration of the nature and progress of knowledge from one of today's great thinkers. Throughout history, mankind has struggled to understand life's mysteries, from the mundane to the seemingly miraculous. In this important new book, David Deutsch, an award-winning pioneer in the field of quantum computation, argues that explanations have a fundamental place in the universe.

Actual Genius
Revisado: 02-20-19
If you've ever wondered how a true genius of the times thinks about things, this is your opportunity. Deutsch charges through complexity after complexity, abstraction after abstraction, layer after layer; with such pure intellect, he seems to be gliding through them with ghostly precision. I recommend this to anyone that wants to push their own minds to the limit, while Deutsch brings it all down to a level that is surprisingly easy to understand given the content.
