{"product_id":"9781672370776","title":"Artificial Evolution: How technology makes us think we’re better than we are (and why that’s dangerous)","description":"For a species as complex as ours, evolution should take about a million years. But in just the past 200 years we've hacked the process so that even the slowest and stupidest among us can move faster than a cheetah, fly higher than an eagle, and perform miracles of science that would have dazzled Einstein. But instead of elevating humanity to unparalleled enlightenment, technology has given us a sense of unparalleled entitlement. We act as though each new gain in comfort, convenience, and security not only makes our lives better-but also makes us better. It is a dangerous delusion. Based on a combination of research and personal experience-including resuscitating a vintage rotary phone, flying around the world on the Concorde, and fishing in a stream of industrial waste called Stink Run-author Rob Sneddon builds a case that \"progress\" is a runaway train and the engineer is too busy texting to notice.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e• \u003cb\u003eAuthor: \u003c\/b\u003eRob Sneddon\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e• \u003cb\u003ePublisher: \u003c\/b\u003eIndependently published\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e• \u003cb\u003ePublication Date: \u003c\/b\u003eDecember 20, 2019\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e• \u003cb\u003eNumber of Pages: \u003c\/b\u003e152 pages\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e• \u003cb\u003eLanguage: \u003c\/b\u003eEnglish\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e• \u003cb\u003eBinding: \u003c\/b\u003ePaperback\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e• \u003cb\u003eISBN-10: \u003c\/b\u003e1672370779\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e• \u003cb\u003eISBN-13: \u003c\/b\u003e9781672370776\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Independently published","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50343557497137,"sku":"9781672370776","price":13.87,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0798\/8215\/8385\/files\/9781672370776__53297.jpg?v=1732206408","url":"https:\/\/www.recomparo.com\/products\/9781672370776","provider":"ReComparo.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
