Synopsis

The Theory of Everybody, rather than play upon our fears, explores the positive opportunities presented by super-intelligent machines. In several genres—a play, essays, articles, and science fiction—Robert W. Fuller explores the most daunting challenge we humans will ever face: the advent of robots more intelligent than ourselves. This multifaceted collection suggests a way to retain our dignity even though we may lose our preeminence.
