«Vidas sintéticas» is the popular science essay by Ricard Solé, published by Tusquets Editores in paperback (336 pages, in Spanish).
Today's science recreates cells, diseases, brains or climates on the computer. Ricard Solé analyzes what these simulations mean for classic questions such as the origin of matter and life, consciousness or the prediction of human behavior, and how virtual worlds and synthetic living systems —lying robots, artificial cells— bring science to the limits of the possible.
Volume 120 of the Metatemas collection; book published in 2012. Ricard Solé is a physicist and biologist, ICREA research professor at Pompeu Fabra University.
For readers of popular science and philosophy, with an interest in the intersection of science, technology and thought.
