Reviews
"Physicist and author Gardner expands on the themes of his 2003 title Biocosm, incorporating concepts of artificial intelligence, non-biological life and the possibility of extra-terrestrial intelligence. It is helpful, but not necessary, to have read Biocosm, as Gardner does provide a recap on his way to proposing that the universe itself is a form of life and that advanced artificial intelligence might be able to create more universes capable of developing more life. Gardner's highly speculative propositions are presented in a passably written narrative, and he incorporates well-documented material from a wide range of past and contemporary thinkers, including Kurzweil, Bedau, Vinge, Penrose, Gould and Dawkins. Unfortunately, he makes the same mistake for which he criticizes others-assuming that because a given phenomena is not understood or observed at present, it never will be, thus justifying outrageous speculation or quasi-religious reasoning. In addition, Gardner ignores decades of research in chemosynthesis and abiogenesis, his understanding of evolutionary processes seems superficial and his knowledge of chemistry (including the chemical characteristics of elements) is clearly limited. As such, he mistakenly suggests, repeatedly, that well-understood processes are in fact scientific mysteries. For those interested in the cutting edge of contemporary physics (and its attending philosophy), Gardner's book is helpful; nevertheless, a healthy skepticism is highly recommended." -- Publishers Weekly , Copyright © Reed Business Information, a division of Reed Elsevier Inc.

Synopsis
In this new work, the author of "Biocosm" offers both a look into the past and a road map for the future of the universe. His book explores the mysteries of the universe and of consciousness and provides a frank and fascinating look at where our minds are taking us., What is the ultimate destiny of our universe? That is the striking question addressed by James Gardner in The Intelligent Universe . Traditionally, scientists (and Robert Frost) have offered two bleak answers to this profound issue: fire or ice. In The Intelligent Universe , James Gardner envisions a third dramatic alternative--a final state of the cosmos in which a highly evolved form of group intelligence engineers a cosmic renewal, the birth of a new universe., What is the ultimate destiny of our universe? That is the striking question addressed by well-known complexity theorist James Gardner in The Intelligent Universe. Scientists have traditionally offered two bleak answers: fire or ice. But Gardner envisions a third, dramatic alternative--the birth of a new universe. This unique viewpoint that has won praise from leading scientists, including Sir Martin Rees, Britain's Astronomer Royal and Templeton Prize winner Paul Davies. The Intelligent Universe is both a journey to the past and a road map for the future of the universe. It explores the mysteries of the cosmos and of consciousness, and provides a frank and fascinating look at where our minds are taking us., What is the ultimate destiny of our universe?
