El padre de la realidad virtual nos explica sus infinitas posibilidades a trav???s de su experiencia con la tecnolog???a. A trav???s del fascinante recorrido de una vida dedicada a la tecnolog???a, Jaron Lanier expone la capacidad de la realidad virtual para iluminar y amplificar la comprensi???n que tenemos de nuestra especie y ofrece a los lectores una nueva perspectiva sobre c???mo el cerebro y el cuerpo humano se conectan al mundo. Al entender la realidad virtual como una aventura tanto cient???fica como cultural, Lanier demuestra el componente human???stico que esta aporta a la tecnolog???a. Si bien sus libros anteriores ofrec???an una visi???n m???s cr???tica de las redes sociales y de otras manifestaciones de la tecnolog???a, en El futuro es ahora el autor argumenta que la realidad virtual puede hacer que nuestra vida sea m???s rica y m???s completa. Una obra que no solo nos muestra qu??? significa ser humano en esta era de posibilidades tecnol???gicas sin precedentes, sino que tambi???n une la dimensi???n tecnol???gica con nuestra experiencia corporal. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION Named one of the best books of 2017 by The Economist, The Wall Street Journal, & Vox The father of virtual reality explains its dazzling possibilities by reflecting on his own lifelong relationship with technology Bridging the gap between tech mania and the experience of being inside the human body , Dawn of the New Everything is a look at what it means to be human at a moment of unprecedented technological possibility. Through a fascinating look back over his life in technology, Jaron Lanier, an interdisciplinary scientist and father of the term "virtual reality," exposes VR's ability to illuminate and amplify our understanding of our species, and gives readers a new perspective on how the brain and body connect to the world. An inventive blend of autobiography, science writing, philosophy and advice, this book tells the wild story of his personal and professional life as a scientist, from his childhood in the UFO territory of New Mexico, to the loss of his mother, the founding of the first start-up, and finally becoming a world-renowned technological guru. Understanding virtual reality as being both a scientific and cultural adventure, Lanier demonstrates it to be a humanistic setting for technology. While his previous books offered a more critical view of social media and other manifestations of technology, in this book he argues that virtual reality can actually make our lives richer and fuller.
