Newtown (Paperback)
NEWTOWN is about truth-testing by man and machine. When NEWTOWN is a literal habitat of high quality, it becomes the ideal for civilization. This is also the name for a small city in Connecticut where a terrible mass killing was reported in 2012 as responsible for the death of 28 people, mostly children., at Sandy Hook Elementary School. In either application of the word, NEWTOWN, truth-testing is required and truth-testing in this era is being allocated more and more to AI-Alife forms ... to machines. Where does NEWTOWN lead when we expand the ideas to truth-testing without limit? If machines advance without limit, does homo sapiens even have a future beyond this century?
