The Best of All Netherworlds is written for both the technophile and the individual who would like to know more about the expanding influence of artificial intelligence (AI) on a society that doesn't quite know how to deal with it. AI is replacing humans with machines, initially for physical tasks but increasingly for reasoning processes. The implications should concern us all.
The mythical country of Bin is not far removed from the growing reality in America. The pages to follow will take the reader on an adventurous journey into this coming world – a world perhaps never to exist, if humans can control the machines, but worthy of contemplation as we move faster and faster into unknown realms of technology.
The story is unusual, even outlandish in parts, and likely to be enigmatic to some readers. But it's based in its entirety on the true workings of computers and logic. It delves into the fascinating concept of human cognition. It weaves discussions of social issues with insights into artificial intelligence, language acquisition, and biochemistry. It is brief but comprehensive, well-researched, and timely in its reflections on modern technology and human inequality. Its main objective is to address the potentially harmful consequences of a foray into poorly understood technologies without an understanding of their impact on humanity.
