When the first golden leaf fell on the local area, the wind blowing hair on
has become a little cold, and the autumn in Chengdu has quietly come.
This is a desirable harvest season.

In the books, the curiosity of our internal world,
and the feelings, thoughts or epiphany that start with this are still continuing.
In order to alleviate everyone's "smartphone syndrome",
Doudong has carefully prepared Autumn book list ,
Let us listen to the voice of our hearts.

Recommended reason:
The relationship between people and machines, matter and soul has been debated for hundreds of years. The 17th century was an era of earth-shaking ideological changes. Mechanism, as the core paradigm of modern science, was established. The entire universe was regarded as a machine, including animals and humans, but still attributed its motivation and spirit to the hands of God. However, more rebellious scientists and philosophers believe that life machines have internal kinetic energy.
Stanford University European History and History of Science Professor Jessica Riskin takes us to understand the various possibilities about the future of life from history. Riskin's writing style is vivid and speculative. She uses history to clarify our modern scientific concepts, which is of great significance to the current understanding of the development of life sciences, cognitive sciences, and artificial intelligence.
