By Adrienne Mayor. Princeton, NJ: Princeton University Press, 2018. 275 pp. (hardcover). ISBN 978-0-691-18351-0. --8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8--- A groundbreaking account of the earliest expressions of the timeless impulse to create artificial life, Gods and Robots reveals how some of today’s most advanced innovations in robotics and AI were foreshadowed in ancient myth—and how science has always been driven by imagination. This is mythology for the age of AI. --8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8--- Questa recensione fornisce qualche spunto di riflessione in più sugli agromenti sviluppati nel libro: https://csalateral.org/reviews/gods-robots-myths-machines-ancient-dreams-technology-mayor-buozis/ --8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8--- Among the many fascinating exegeses of ancient myths here, Mayor seems to acknowledge these questions about power and technology, noting, for instance, that “one of the essential motivations for the creation of machines and robots is economic” (152). Future work, building on Mayor’s text, would explore this motivation further, as technology is both mythic and material, even in the context of these narratives. That said, Gods and Robots is an important step in revealing how technology has functioned in both ways from the beginning of recorded history. --8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8--- [...] Saluti, 380° -- 380° (Giovanni Biscuolo public alter ego) «Noi, incompetenti come siamo, non abbiamo alcun titolo per suggerire alcunché» Disinformation flourishes because many people care deeply about injustice but very few check the facts.
