Simulator of Madness. How the Fourth Industrial Revolution Will Turn Homo Sapiens into Homo Servus?

Everything that is thinkable is achievable. An idea is what lies at the foundation of all human endeavors. And digital technologies represent tools of unprecedented power that give people the ability to bring to life what could only be dreamed... of half a century ago. But how will we use these tools? The author calls the era of rapid technological development that humanity has entered the Fourth Revolution and believes that, alongside the Great French, Great Industrial, and Great Russian revolutions, it will turn the world, industry, and social relations upside down, transform each of our lives into a cozy simulator, and ensure the transition from Homo Sapiens to Homo Servus. The Fourth Revolution will change absolutely everything. • What will the urban paradise of the future look like? • What will we have to do to save the planet? • Will there be a place for humans in high-tech industry? • Why will IT giants monitor citizens' health? • How to learn to survive in an era of continuous surveillance? • Will our constant desire to make life more comfortable kill us? Answers to these and other questions can be found in the new book by Vadim Panov. You are about to embark on an exciting exploration of the future, studying the magnificent simulator into which our lives are slowly but surely transforming, and find an answer to the question: can Utopia be insane?
