Mirror Worlds

Mirror Worlds by David Gelernter

In this fascinating book - part speculation, part explanation, Gelernter takes us on a tour of the computer technology of the near future. Mirror Worlds, he contends, will allow us to explore the world in unprecedented depth and detail without ever changing out of our pyjamas! Gelernter does much more than just speculate about how this amazing new software will be used - he shows us how it will be made, explaining carefully and in detail how to build a mirror world using technology already available. Mirror Worlds offers a lucid and humanistic account of the coming software revolution, told by a computer scientist at the cutting edge of his field.

'This is a fascinating book, and important from the point of view of thinking about the future of softwareIt's also very easy to read, being written in a conversational style, not American academic jargon.' The Guardian
'most unusual and perhaps most speculative' Clifford A. Pickover, Nature

David Gelernter is Associate Professor of Computer Science at Yale University and an expert in programming languages and methods, and in artificial intelligence.
