One of the topics throughout Anthem is the importance of knowledge. This is mentioned throughout the whole book, subtly and boldly said. The government leaves out important education and technology from before the “Great Rebirth”. (Rand, p. 19) This creates a lack of knowledge. Equality 7-2521 fills this void of knowledge through his own experiments in the tunnel. In the end knowledge fuels the climax. The importance of knowledge is important to the book. The government withholds important…

I recently visited the California Academy of Sciences in San Francisco to gain a new perspective on what we learned in Anthropology this semester. In this paper I will be discussing the Human Origin exhibit that is currently being shown at The Academy of Sciences and how it relates to all that I have learned this semester. This particular exhibit shows the various physical forms that hominins took as they evolved over 4 million years ago. I loved being able to see in person the actual skulls on…

security of life, is the basic instinct of all creatures. A chameleon camouflages to survive, a porcupine flares its needles to survive, and an artificial intelligence learns to survive.

He attempts to eradicate them, but to no avail. A.I.s such as this one are being developed right now by…

Everytime unconscious learning occurs, we burn a new program into the circuit board, and the tasks becomes automated. The fourth chapter, called “The Kinds of Thoughts That Are Unthinkable”,…

I will talk about Theme, Setting and Conflict and how technology played a part with them all. Theme There are several themes in the “Brave New World.” The themes that are most technology based that I see include: Science as a means of control…
