Superintelligence - Nick Bostrom Gebunden

The book gives a nice overview over the many aspects of a coming superintelligence, from the different kinds of possible scenarios in which such a thing could develop in the first place, to the speeds in which it could play out.Of course there are also (which I found the most interesting) many chapters focussing especially on the dangers of a superintelligence, as well as possible counterstrategies.While all this goes on, the author never gives in the temptation to illustrate these thought experiments with exaggerating prose or over-antropomorphization of the possbile a.i. agents.He always stays in the realm of the factual, showing different possibilities and outcomes, and just mentions the likelihood of each compared to the rest, if such a likelihood can be determined.Over all, a great read, but really no easy read, either.I think its best suited for the scientifically minded who like a little abstract philosophizing from time to time.
