Synopsis
Can computers ever be alive? Can they have children? Can they repair themselves? Or grow from embryos? Or swarm like insects? Can computers think for themselves? Could they ever be conscious? The answer is "yes". But should we be worried? "Digital Biology" is the story of a new technology: biological computers. This text provides explanations of how new forms of life inside computers are created, and what this actually means for our future, clearly showing the vital benefits of this techology. The text describes how these digital creatures are helping us: finding fraudsters, searching for signs of cancer in our cells, controlling robots, smelling bombs and growing music. The text also demonstrates how digital biology is helping us understand how natural biology works, thus improving our medicine and keeping us healthy.

Digital Biology: The Creation of Life Inside Computers and How it Will Affect Us
Seller: Sell Books, Elland, YORKS, United Kingdom
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
paperback. Condition: Good. Our good condition books are generally good for reading but not for gifting or collecting. They could have imperfections such as creasing, fanning, inscriptions, margin notes, yellowing, staining on edge or cover or pages, bumps, scuffs, etc etc (sometimes multiple of these). It's a wide category that encompasses anything that isn't almost-new down to anything that is slightly better than poor. We would NOT recommend gifting Good books - these should be considered reading copies. Our books are dispatched from a Yorkshire former cotton mill. We list via barcode/ISBN so please note that the images are stock images and may not be the exact copy you receive, furthermore the details about edition and year might not be accurate as many publishers reuse the same ISBN for multiple editions and as we simply scan a barcode or enter an ISBN we do not check the validity of the edition data when listing. If you're looking for an exact edition please don't order (at least not without checking with us first, although we don't always have time to check). We aim to dispatch prompty, the service used will depend on order value and book size. We can ship to most countries, see our shipping policies. Payment is via Abe only.
