Technological Resurrection: a Thought Experiment

Book excerpt: A thousand years ago, mankind thought the greatest thing technology would ever achieve would be crafting a stronger sword or a larger building. Flying? Mind reading? Virtual universes? These things were reserved for Gods and Heavens. But now, with the 'singularity' only twenty years away, it has become clear that technology has no limits. And with science fiction becoming science fact and the miraculous becoming the mundane, perhaps the time has come to apply a new, scientific interpretation to events that we have always thought of as 'supernatural'. Even the possibility of our afterlife itself.Which is why this book dares to ask the taboo question, "What if the light at the end of that tunnel... is a technologically advanced future?"'Technological Resurrection: A Thought Experiment' explores these questions and more as it gives us all a glimpse into our wild, new future, with insight, humor, and a dash of hope. Written by Jonathan A. Jones, author of 'Gods of the Singularity' and 'DoomsdAI'
