Overview

El mundo está lleno de cuestiones científicas y técnicas que parecen sacadas de un universo de ciencia ficción. Pero... ¿se suponía que iba a ser así?

Los científicos nos prometieron coches voladores, turismo espacial y robots superinteligentes. Pero aunque vemos avances en todos esos campos cada día, la realidad es ligeramente distinta.

En este libro se habla de ese futuro prometido y de dónde estamos: del origen de internet, de los primeros ordenadores y hackers y de la carrera espacial, con explicaciones e ilustraciones fáciles de entender. Sin olvidar la importancia de la energía nuclear o el reto para la humanidad que suponen las cuestiones sobre privacidad en la red, la emergencia climática o las pandemias.

Microsiervos es uno de los mayores y más conocidos weblogs de divulgación sobre ciencia y tecnología de España. Si tienes amigos geeks, seguro que lo conocen; si alguna vez has buscado una respuesta en Google sobre cuestiones científicas o técnicas seguramente hayas leído algo escrito por ellos. Este libro pone al día algunos de sus mejores artículos junto con decenas de otros completamente nuevos.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

The world is full of scientific and technical aspects that seem to be taken right out of a science fiction universe. But ... was it supposed to be like that?

Scientists promised us flying cars, space tourism, and super-intelligent robots. But although we see progress in those fields every day, the reality is somewhat different.

This book discusses that once promised future and where we are today: the origin of the internet, the first computers and first hackers, and the space race, with easy-to-understand explanations and illustrations. The authors also discuss the importance of nuclear energy and the challenges that humanity faces today with issues like online privacy, a climate emergency, and global pandemics.

Microsiervos is one of the largest and best known science and technology blogs in Spain. If you have geeky friends, they sure know the blog; if you've ever Googled any scientific or technical questions, you've probably read something written by them. This book updates some of their best articles along with dozens of brand new ones
