A general theory of intelligent systems is described, based  on the author's previous work; and in this context, the specific  notion of Internet intelligence is fleshed out, in its commercial,  social, psychological, computer-science, philosophical, and  theological aspects. Software engineering work carried out by the  author and his team over the last few years, aimed at seeding the  emergence of Internet intelligence, is reviewed in some detail,  including the Webmind AI Engine, a uniquely powerful Internet-based  digital intelligence, and the Webworld platform for peer-to-peer  distributed cognition and artificial life. The book should be of  interest to computer scientists, philosophers, and social scientists,  and more generally to anyone concerned about the nature of the mind,  or the evolution of computer and Internet technology and its effect on  human life.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2001-12-31\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Hardcover\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9780306467356\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-1-4615-0561-7\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 235cm x155cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 330\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer US","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46541607796876,"sku":"9780306467356","price":152.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9780306467356.jpg?v=1775742539","url":"https:\/\/lateknightbooks.com\/products\/9780306467356","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
