GODS AND ROBOTS - ADRIENNE MAYOR KARTONIERT (TB)

The first robot to walk the earth was a bronze giant called Talos. This wondrous machine was
created not by MIT Robotics Lab  but by Hephaestus  the Greek god of invention. More than 2 500
years ago  Greek mythology was exploring ideas about creating artificial life--and grappling
with still-unresolved ethical concerns about biotechne  life through craft. In this compelling
richly illustrated book  Adrienne Mayor tells the fascinating story of how ancient Greek  Roman
Indian  and Chinese myths envisioned artificial life  automata  self-moving devices  and human
enhancements--and how these visions relate to and reflect the ancient invention of real
animated machines. Revealing how science has always been driven by imagination  and how some of
today's most advanced tech innovations were foreshadowed in ancient myth  Gods and Robots is a
gripping new story of mythology for the age of AI.
