Title: thoughtful meditation on a difficult topic
Review: This is a wonderful book. I am quite interested in this topic: the boundary between humans and machines, and especially developments in artificial intelligence as combined with robotics. This books does so much more than just explore that boundary, although it does that very well, too. It provides an insightful overview of the shift in artificial intelligence to "EMBODIED artificial intelligence." In order to do this, it explains the importance of embodiment for "human intelligence" and also gives an "embodied" reading of the bible which is quite informative. Foerst's ideas about the ramifications of being the "story-telling" or "narrating" animal to our sense of self and how this allows us to incorporate significant others into our sense of sense is a powerful argument, deftly expressed. The book also raises interesting ethical questions about how we identify or fail to identify with others, not only machines. Bravo!
