The Robot's Rebellion

This mind-bending book explores the idea that humans might actually be robots, acting as hosts to two replicators with no interest in our well-being. Scientist Keith Stanovich provides a "robot's rebellion," a program of cognitive reform that empowers humans to structure their behavior and assert their own autonomous goals. He argues that only by recognizing ourselves as robots can we truly achieve rational self-determination and construct a concept of self that is unique among life forms on Earth.
