How to Build a God begins by looking at how complexity works at a fundamental level, and goes on to build a picture of how our species will develop based on the evolution of complexity. We will examine genetics, robotics, nanotechnology, artificial intelligence, mind-uploading, technological superintelligences, backwards causation, faster than light travel, and all manner of potential future technologies and their impact on our species.
Moreover, if machine intelligence is a natural step in the ...
