Description
In the Enchanted Loom, Dr. Robert Jastrow, the distinguished scientist and founder of NASA's famed Goddard Institute, offers a fascinating investigation into the evolution of intelligence on earth. This superb final volume of his enormously popular trilogy, which includes Red Giants and White Dwarfs and Until the Sun Dies, explains how the latest breakthroughs in astronomy, biology, and the brain sciences have given us a new view of man's place in the cosmos, his origins, his present nature, and his destiny. Jastrow draws on these discoveries to present a startling conclusion: that man is not the last word in the development of intelligence but only a step toward a new and still more intelligent form of life that is now rapidly evolving. In the near future, says Jastrow, the human mind and the silicon-based brain of the computer will become one, ushering in an age of indescribable, infinitely expandable, creative, and immortal intelligence. - from Amzon
