jegutman 's review for:
The Age of Em: Work, Love, and Life When Robots Rule the Earth
by Robin Hanson
I don't know why I keep trying books like this. I think it's interesting to think about the future especially with divergent technologies, but to it's a bit too much to take a few debatable working assumptions and describe the whole world that exists. The book allows for a bit of uncertainty in possible outcomes, but the uncertainty fills such a narrow band of possibilities.
The discussion is interesting, but I think you have to be particularly interested in the topic of whole brain simulation and the societal, political, and moral consequences of a world where whole brain simulation is ubiquitous.
