Gezeiten des Geistes: Die Vermessung unseres Bewusstseins
Wenn wir verstehen wollen, wie unser Geist funktioniert, dann müssen wir nicht in die Labore der Neurologen und Technologen schauen, sondern in die Schreibzimmer der großen Literaten. Das Spektrum unseres Bewusstseins ist so schöpferisch und so einzigartig, dass kein Computerprogramm dem je gleichkäme. Unser Geist kann sich von Regeln frei machen und gänzlich Neues erschaffen. Gezeiten des Geistes lotet das Spektrum des Bewusstseins aus und gibt uns ein neues Verständnis von dem, was das Wesen des Menschen ausmacht.

David Hillel Gelernter (born March 5, 1955) is an artist, writer, and professor of computer science at Yale University. He is a former national fellow at the American Enterprise Institute and senior fellow in Jewish thought at the Shalem Center, and sat on the National Endowment for the Arts. He publishes widely; his work has appeared in the Wall Street Journal, New York Post, LA Times, Weekly Standard, Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung, and elsewhere. His paintings have been exhibited in New Haven and Manhattan.
He is known for contributions to parallel computation and for books on topics including computed worlds ("Mirror Worlds"), and what he sees as the destructive influence of liberal academia on American society, expressed most recently in his book America-Lite: How Imperial Academia Dismantled Our Culture (and Ushered in the Obamacrats).
In 1993 he was sent a mail bomb in the post by Ted Kaczynski, known as the Unabomber, which almost killed him and left him with some permanent disabilities: he lost the use of his right hand and his right eye was permanently damaged.
