Teleology
ISBN: 9780557708017 / Angielski / Miękka / 2010 / 204 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Teleology explores our understanding of purpose and creation through the lens of rapid technological change that brings about a new form of intelligence. Framed by the struggles of twin brothers, the story begins and ends millions of years in the future while looking back to the events and tribulations that transformed human consciousness. Teleology is post-dystopian, avoiding the cliche of painting technology as a tool of oppression, and instead asking how breakneck technological change changes us and our relationship with one another and concepts of good, evil, and God.
