Roger Williams

    1 januari 1947

    Deze auteur verkent de grenzen van de menselijke geest en het potentieel van geavanceerde technologie, en vraagt zich vaak af hoe ver we kunnen gaan en of het soms niet te ver is. Zijn werk duikt in complexe systemen, van programmeren voor de zware industrie tot het onderzoeken van de aard van kunstmatige intelligentie. Zijn geschriften worden gekenmerkt door een fascinatie voor de mogelijkheden die voortvloeien uit technologische vooruitgang, getemperd door een voorzichtige bewustwording van onvoorziene gevolgen. Zijn proza biedt een boeiend onderzoek naar de ingewikkelde relatie tussen menselijkheid en machine.

      In a time not far from our own, Lawrence sets out simply to build an artifical intelligence that can pass as human, and finds himself instead with one that can pass as a god. Taking the Three Laws of Robotics literally, Prime Intellect makes every human immortal and provides instantly for every stated human desire. Caroline finds no meaning in this life of purposeless ease, and forgets her emptiness only in moments of violent and profane exhibitionism. At turns shocking and humorous, Prime Intellect looks unflinchingly at extremes of human behavior that might emerge when all limits are removed.
