A FINANCIAL TIMES BOOK OF THE YEAR 2020

How did we end up in a world where humans coexist with technologies we can no longer fully control or understand?

George Dyson plots an unexpected course through the past 300 years to reveal the hidden connections that underpin our digital age, ending with a premonition of what lies ahead.

From an eighteenth-century Russian voyage across the North Pacific, to the mirror signals that heralded the age of digital telecommunications and the invention of the vacuum tube, Analogia interweaves historical adventure with scientific insight in a deeply personal story that frames the pursuit - and cost - of the digital revolution in a captivating new light.

5.0 out of 5 stars The future is analog, not digital, and real AI arises on its own.
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on March 29, 2021
Verified Purchase
This elaborately construed book is a nuanced and impressive attempt to make sense of evolving autonomous artificial intelligence - not the digital programs but the analog, quasi-neural metastructure emerging in social media, search engines, navigators. Several seemingly unconnected historical and autobiographical episodes are woven into a synthesis that reads like a revelation. This book is a brilliant interpretation of the ongoing transformation of our relationship with the machines we create.

You are unlikely to read a book about history and technology that is so varied or poetic any time soon.

5.0 out of 5 stars I love this book
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on December 7, 2020

Ranges from the dreams of Leibniz to the heliographic signals deployed at the end of the Civil War by the US army; from the way the Bering Sea produces Aleut kayaks as a latent attribute of the landscape itself, to the evolution of AI megafauna and the transitions from analogue to digital computing and (perhaps) back again. Erudite, eerie, suggestive and beautiful.

5.0 out of 5 stars Praise to the author for a fundamentally important, well written and remarkably beautiful book.
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on November 1, 2020

In a deeply conflicted history of humans doing what they do, Analogia compares the living reality of Nature (analogue) with the emerging and ultimately fatal reality of digitisation . . . will the grass ever be eight inches high in the spring again?
