WHO ON EARTH ARE YOU?: A FIELD GUIDE TO IDENTIFYING AND KNOWING YOURSELF
Book ID/图书代码： 12787014B67008
English Summary/英文概要： When Nick Inman s bank asked him to identify himself he realized he had an interesting problem. Who was he really? How did he know who he was? And how on earth could he prove it beyond doubt that the person inside his head was the same as the person outside, as detailed on his documentation?
Moving like a detective story, this book pieces together the formula or recipe for a complete human being, listing ingredients from the prosaic to the surprising.
On the way it addresses some intriguing conundrums. Can science offer a complete description of an individual or do we need to look beyond it? Are we in danger of losing ourselves as we are taken over by our virtual identities? Is technology (biometrics) the best way to decide between friend and foe? And what will the future be like for us when machines become people too?
Chinese Summary/中文概要： 当银行要求Nick Inman证明自己的身份时，他意识到自己遇到了一个有趣的问题。他到底是谁？他怎么知道他是谁？究竟怎样他才能证明他脑袋里那个内在的人无疑就是他资料里描述的那个外在的人？本书以侦探故事的叙述方式，列出了人从平淡到惊奇的各种特性，用外在形式和内在特性拼接成一个完整的人。
本书提出了一些怪诞的问题。科学能够完整地描述一个人吗，还是说我们需要超越科学来看待这个问题？当我们被我们的实际身份所控制时我们是否面临着迷失自我的危险？技术（计量生物学）是判断朋友与敌人的最佳方法吗？当机器也变成人时我们的未来会变成什么样呢？（LNL）
Awards/获奖情况： 这是一部优秀的侦探类作品，它无关乎犯罪，而关乎人的身份认知感，它不讲“谁干了这件事”而是“谁正在干这件事”。探讨在21世纪拥有一个身份意味着什么可不是一件容易的事，但Nick Inman用清晰的语言将这个哲学探索命题引进了未经探索的领域。结果是带来了对内在自我以及认识和了解你是谁你是什么的有趣指导。——Bill Anderton Pilgrims，2013年11月7日。
《你究竟是谁？》是一本有趣、有料、愉快的书。从银行要求他证明自己的身份这一简单要求开始，Nick Inman开始认真考虑他是谁。在探索过程中他给了我们关于我们是谁的很多有趣观点——涉及到了各个层面。——Peter Davies Amazon，2013年10月27日。
