The Age of Em

In this thought-provoking audiobook, Professor Robin Hanson explores a future where brain emulations—highly advanced, computer-based replicas of human minds—could revolutionize society and the economy. Drawing on expertise in physics, computer science, and economics, he offers a detailed, speculative vision of a world dominated by ems, highlighting how their existence might reshape morals, daily life, and societal structures. The narrative prompts reflection on the profound biological, technological, and ethical changes that such a future could entail, all while maintaining an engaging and informative tone.
