Vita : Cómo la inteligencia artificial y la ciencia están redefiniendo lo que entendemos por vida

For centuries we have believed we could distinguish the living from the inanimate. An animal is alive, a machine is not. But that boundary is beginning to blur. Artificial intelligence, synthetic biology, the exploration of the universe, and scientific advances are pushing us into uncharted territory: one in which machines learn, systems evolve, and life may not be exclusive to the biological realm. This book explores, in an engaging and narrative style, one of the most profound and crucial questions of our time: what does it truly mean to be alive? From the origin of life on Earth to the possibility of new forms of existence —artificial, hybrid, or still unimaginable— Xabi Uribe-Etxebarria offers us a stimulating intellectual journey that connects biology, physics, astrobiology, neuroscience, and technology.
