Synopsis

In de Rosnays persuasively optimistic view, humans will learn how to evolve in harmony with our ecosystem, much as the cells of our body must work together for our continued health. "The great challenge of the future will not be technical, " he writes: "it will be human." The challenge is for us to learn how we fit into a planetary macroorganism that includes all humans, machines, organisms, networks and nations.In this exhilarating search for the outlines of the future, as de Rosnay shows, we will be using such emerging and evolving new disciplines as biotics, molecular electronics, neobiology, and cognitive sciences.
