Reviews

“The book presents the author's view of the possible futures of this journey. He explores the topic in eight chapters … . Summing Up: Recommended. Upper-division undergraduates through professionals/practitioners.” (J. Beidler, Choice, Vol. 53 (11), July, 2016)“I have no definite dislike about the book. It is clearly structured, and the structure is adequate for the subject. The author clearly outlines his opinion, starts with a bold opening, and does not cause irritations by conflicting statements in different chapters. … What I like about the book is the clear language, definition of major concepts, and conclusions at the end of each chapter.” (Ahmet E. Çakir, Behaviour & Information Technology, March, 2016)“If you are curious or concerned about the fate of our culture vis-a`-vis the impact of artificial intelligence, artificial brains, transhuman technology, and simulated humans, then Cyber-Humans: Our Future with Machines is a must-read book for you. The author does a superb job of providing a succinct overview of the momentum of development and adoption of cyber-human technology and the relevance to our future. … Cyber-Humans is both succinct and comprehensive, with concepts, analysis, theories, examples, and detailed references.” (Walter Greenleaf, Presence, Vol. 25 (2), 2016)
