What is Analogia : The Emergence of Technology Beyond Programmable Control about?

<p><b>Named one of <i>WIRED</i>’s "The Best Pop Culture That Got Us Through 2020"<br><br>In <i>Analogia</i>, technology historian George Dyson presents a startling look back at the analog age and life before the digital revolution—and an unsettling vision of what comes next.</b><br><br>In 1716, the philosopher and mathematician Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz spent eight days taking the cure with Peter the Great at Bad Pyrmont in Saxony, trying to persuade the tsar to launch a voyage of discovery from Russia to America and to adopt digital computing as the foundation for a remaking of life on earth. In two classic books, <i>Darwin Among the Machines </i>and <i>Turing’s Cathedral</i>, George Dyson chronicled the realization of the second of Leibniz’s visions. In <i>Analogia</i>, his pathbreaking new book, he brings the story full circle, starting with the Russian American expedition of 1741 and ending with the beyond-digital revolution that will complete<br>the transformation of the world.<br><br>Dyson enlists a startling cast of characters, from the time of Catherine the Great to the age of machine intelligence, and draws heavily on his own experiences at the Institute for Advanced Study
