商品描述
We Have Never Been Human boldly reimagines what it means to be human, challenging the traditional notions that bind our identity to biology and culture. From ancient mythologies to modern technologies, this book reveals a dynamic, ever-evolving human identity shaped by external forces and technological advancements.
Blending insights from philosophy, technology studies, anthropology, and cultural critique, We Have Never Been Human offers an interdisciplinary exploration of our constructed identities and what they portend for the future of society. It raises essential questions: How has technology reshaped our self-perception? Are humans fixed beings, or are we endlessly evolving? What ethical, social, and political challenges arise as we integrate with intelligent machines?
This book is a compelling read for those intrigued by the intersection of humanity and technology, offering profound insights into the essence of what it means to be human--or perhaps, what it means to evolve beyond the human.
商品描述(中文翻譯)
《我們從未是人類》大膽地重新想像了成為人類的意義，挑戰將我們的身份與生物學和文化綁定的傳統觀念。從古代神話到現代科技，本書揭示了一個由外部力量和技術進步塑造的動態、持續演變的人類身份。
《我們從未是人類》融合了哲學、科技研究、人類學和文化批評的見解，提供了一個跨學科的探索，探討我們所構建的身份及其對未來社會的預示。它提出了重要的問題：科技如何重塑了我們的自我認知？人類是固定的存在，還是我們無止境地在演變？當我們與智能機器融合時，會出現什麼倫理、社會和政治挑戰？
這本書對於那些對人性與科技交集感興趣的讀者來說，是一本引人入勝的讀物，提供了對於成為人類的本質——或者說，超越人類的意義——的深刻見解。
