SURVIVE US?

摘要

BY THE year 3700, Earth is far too hot for any human to call it home. On this planet at least, Homo sapiens is nothing more than a memory - if there is anything left to remember the "wise man". But what of our wisdom - will any of it outlive us? The conventional answer is no. Knowledge requires a knower, and there will be no sufficiently knowing minds around. But if information survives, perhaps in books or hard drives, maybe the knowledge isn't quite dead but dormant, ready to be resurrected by other minds that evolve or come to visit Earth in the distant future.
