Book Synopsis Unnatural by : Philip Ball

Download or read book Unnatural written by Philip Ball and published by Random House. This book was released on 2011 with total page 388 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Unnatural, Philip Ball delves beneath the surface of the cultural history of 'anthropoesis' - the creation of artificial people - to explore what it tells us about our views on life, humanity, creativity and technology, and the soul. He argues that to call something 'unnatural' is to make a moral judgement that has its origins in religious thought. Unnatural traces the threads that link the legendary inventor Daedalus to Goethe's tragic Faust, the automata-making magicians of E. T. A. Hoffmann, the first robots, and of course to Mary Shelley's Victor Frankenstein.
