Platón contra las máquinas : La tecnología y sus enemigos, desde la escritura hasta la inteligencia artificial

Is technology a threat to humanity or the very heart of what it means to be human? Why do we continue to view the "natural" as good and the "artificial" as suspicious? In this bold and original essay, Marcos Alonso invites us to explore the long history of distrust toward machines and the artificial, from Plato's condemnation of technology in ancient Greece to current debates on artificial intelligence, biotechnology, and transhumanism. Through rigorous yet engaging analysis, the author dismantles the prejudices that have shaped Western tradition, showing how the dichotomy between the natural and the artificial has molded our way of thinking, feeling, and organizing society. Much more than a critique of technopessimism or a naive defense of innovation, "Plato Against the Machines" is an invitation to explore the paradoxes that define us, to understand the value and risks of the artificial, and to discover how our words, ideas, and technologies shape the world we live in.
