<p>"As can be seen from my comments for story ideas, this book is also a ripe ground to get your imagination working and if you want to be involved in writing the next generation of SF stories, definitely deserves a read."  (<i>SFCrowsnest.org.uk</i>, 1 September 2014)</p>
<p><b>Russell Blackford</b> is an Australian philosopher, literary critic, and author, based at the University of Newcastle, NSW. He is editor-in-chief of <i>The Journal of Evolution and Technology, </i>and his books include <i>Freedom of Religion and the Secular State </i>(Wiley-Blackwell, 2012).</p> <p><b>Damien Broderick</b> is an award-winning Australian science and fiction writer, editor and critical theorist. He has written or edited some 60 books, including <i>The Spike </i>(revised, ed. 2002), the first full-length treatment of the technological Singularity, and <i>Year Million </i>(ed. 2008), about the deep future.</p>
<p>Someday in the not-too-distant future, the greatest minds on Earth might be intelligent machines – conventional or quantum logic programs running on immensely powerful and ever smaller computers. But can human minds bound by biology possibly keep up? And will such artificial or enhanced minds turn against humanity, or will they join us in the search for deeper understanding and meaning? Might our own minds be uploaded into "machines of loving grace" – albeit ones working at the speed of light? These provocative questions are addressed in Intelligence Unbound, a collection of state-of-the-art essays that explore the prospects, promises, and potential dangers of machine intelligence and uploaded minds. By deeply probing the nature and ethics of tomorrow's machine minds – and the possible convergence of humans and machines – the essays consider a variety of intriguing possibilities that could emerge from the inexorable advances of science and engineering. The essays are contributed by a wide range of innovative thinkers, including top scholars in the philosophy of consciousness, experts in AI development, and neuroscientists. All provide intriguing insights – with the occasional dash of skepticism – into the realms of machine intelligence and uploaded minds. Scholarly and thought-provoking, <i>Intelligence Unbound</i> offers a serious and sobering glimpse into the possible future of humankind and machine.</p>
"These engrossing reflections on the plausibility of advanced AI and uploading inspire a wealth of profound questions about who or what we believe ourselves to be."<br /> —<b>Wendell Wallach, Yale Interdisciplinary Center for Bioethics</b> <p>"If humanity survives for thirty years, the topic of this book may be the most important there is. The book is readable, fun and stuffed with expertise. So read it."<br /> —<b>David Braddon-Mitchell, University of Sydney</b></p>
