12 BYTES - JEANETTE WINTERSON KARTONIERT (TB)

*A 'BOOKS OF 2021' PICK IN THE GUARDIAN  FINANCIAL TIMES AND EVENING STANDARD* Twelve bytes.
Twelve eye-opening  mind-expanding  funny and provocative essays on the implications of
artificial intelligence for the way we live and the way we love - from Sunday Times-bestselling
author Jeanette Winterson. An original  and entertaining new book from Jeanette Winterson 
drawing on her years of thinking about and reading about Artificial Intelligence in its
bewildering manifestations. She looks to history  religion  myth  literature  the politics of
race and gender  and of course  computing science  to help us understand the radical changes to
the way we live and love that are happening now. When we create non-biological life-forms  will
we do so in our image? Or will we accept the once-in-a-species opportunity to remake ourselves
in their image? What do love  caring  sex  and attachment look like when humans form
connections with non-human helpers teachers  sex-workers  and companions? And what will happen
to our deep-rooted assumptions about gender? Will the physical body that is our home soon be
enhanced by biological and neural implants  keeping us fitter  younger  and connected? Is it
time to join Elon Musk and leave Planet Earth? With wit  compassion and curiosity  Winterson
tackles AI's most interesting talking points  from the algorithms that data-dossier your whole
life  to the weirdness of backing up your brain.
