Creating Internet Intelligence presents the most detailed picture yet
of the internet of the future, and the steps we can take right now
to transform today’s computer networks into their almost-inevitable successor:
a worldwide, self-organizing digital mind.
Ideas about “global brains” and intelligent networks
have been around for decades, yet Creating Internet Intelligence is
the first text to flesh them out in a careful and practical manner.
It sweeps all the way from the philosophy of mind, society, and culture
to the interactions between different cognitive processes
in a distributed digital mind and the minutiae of communication protocols
between increasingly intelligent Internet agents.
