What will our world look like in 25 years’ time? No one knows for sure. By that time our work may have been entirely taken over by autonomic robots. Our world controlled by a single global brain as we are left to be slaves to the technology we were responsible for creating. But there is a chance that things will not develop that quickly and instead, we will make the robots our slaves. Will we become immortal and therefore be able to call ourselves gods in our own self-made highly-intelligent system? The big questions about the future of the human race and its relationship to technology we ask of two influential experts at this time: Kevin Kelly and Yuval Noah Harari. Kevin Kelly is the writer of influential works including What Technology Wants and The Inevitable. Yuval Noah Harari is the writer of the books pertaining to the history of the human race: Sapiens and Homo Deus.
