Wie nie zuvor leben wir in einer von Wissenschaft und Technologie dominierten Zeit. Die neuen bildgebenden Methoden der Neurowissenschaft beobachten unser Gehirn beim Denken. Sie zeigen uns, wie Wahrnehmung, Emotionen und Intelligenz funktionieren, und versuchen zu erklären, wie unser Bewusstsein entsteht. Molekularbiologie und Gentechnik entschlüsseln die elementaren Bausteine des Lebens, manipulieren sie und schaffen künstliche Lebensformen. Neue Kulturtechniken entstehen in den immer dichter werdenden globalen Netzen digitaler Technologien, Maschinen werden konstruiert, die menschliche Fähigkeiten nachahmen, und mit dem Weltraumteleskop dringt unser Blick weit über unser Sonnensystem hinaus in die Tiefen von Zeit und Raum. Die Erkenntnisse, die dabei zutage treten, setzen dazu an, unser Welt- und Menschenbild nachhaltig zu verändern.

This age we live in is one dominated more than ever by science and technology. The new imaging methods used in the neurosciences observe our brain as it thinks. They show us how perception, emotions and intelligence function, and attempt to explain how our consciousness originates. Molecular biologists and genetic engineers are decoding the elementary building blocks of life. Theyre manipulating life, and creating artificial life forms.
New cultural techniques are emerging in the ever more tightly-knit global networks of digital technologies. Engineers are constructing machines that imitate human capabilities. And with the launch of the space telescope, were peering far beyond our own solar system into the depths of space and time. The findings and insights coming to light thereby are beginning to permanently change our picture of the world and of the people who inhabit it.
