Book Description

Organisms, or organized, living, systems. What's their origin? Why and how did they evolve? This book analyses the evolution of complex structures in the universe - from the subatomic particles after the Big Bang onwards - in order to understand the emergence of today's interconnected society.

Artificial Intelligence, it concludes, is just the final step of a journey which started with DNA, itself the first Information and Communication Technology devised by nature on planet earth. What we are living today is the formation of the distributed nervous system of a metaorganism, in which human beings are the cells.

A reassuring environment for us, but one where each individual will count increasingly less. A hugely complex, world-wide organism which makes Homo, while more communicans, also increasingly less sapiens.

• Mario Alemi is an Italian physicist and author. He is the author of "The Amazing Journey of Reason from DNA to Artificial Intelligence". Alemi writes about how Homo sapiens, after having reached a limit in the development of the brain, developed communication skills -shifting in this way information storage and processing from the individual to the network of people. According to this view, the emergence of digital communication (the "social nervous system") is an inevitable process, not different to the emergence of the nervous system in complex organisms or DNA in biological cells.

• Paths: Why is Life Filled with so many Detours?

  This book explores the amazing similarity between paths taken by people and many other things in life, and its impact on the way we live, teach and learn. Offering insights into the new scientific field of paths as part of the science of networks, etc.

• Networks, Crowds, and Markets: a Highly Connected World

  It looks at economics, sociology, computing and information science, and applied mathematics to understand networks and behavior, and addresses fundamental questions about how the social, economic, and technological worlds are connected.

• On the Path to AI: Foundations of the Machine Learning Age

  This book explores machine learning and its impact on how we make sense of the world. It introduces readers to the key concepts of machine learning, discusses the potential applications and limitations of predictions generated by machines using data.

• Making AI Intelligible (Herman Cappelen, et al.)

  Can humans and artificial intelligences share concepts and communicate? The questions addressed in the book are not only theoretically interesting, but the answers have pressing practical implications.

• DNA Replication and Human Disease (JMelvin L. DePamphilis )

  With only two exceptions, the genome is replicated once and only once each time a cell divides. How is this feat accomplished? What happens when errors occur? This book addresses these questions by presenting a thorough analysis of the molecular events.

• RNA, the Epicenter of Genetic Information (John Mattick, et al)

  Documents the confused early history of DNA, RNA and proteins - a transformative history of molecular biology like no other. Integrates the influences of biochemistry and genetics on the landscape of molecular biology.

• Genomes (Terence A. Brown)

  This book covers modern molecular genetics from the genomics perspective, including the sequencing of the human genome, characterization of genome expression and replication processes, and transcriptomics and proteomics.
