The ethical challenges resulting from innovations in intellectual
property, the cyborg project, neuroscience, the origins of human life,
democracy in a "post truth and fake news" era, the changes in the
financial system and, finally, the discoveries for a new cosmology
represent some of the challenges of our technical age. In close
continuity with the previous volume, the present edition of Sinderesi
School (2016-2017) focuses on how technology, in its pervasive
influence, has reached and transformed every aspect of the world. In
order to address this new reality, what is needed are educated people
who are aware of the risks and the benefits. The ideas presented here
come primarily from young people. Beyond the limits is the fruit of
their study and a demonstration of how it is possible to create active
pockets of new thinkers able to offer interesting and inspiring points
of view resulting from their willing to be present to the contemporary
world in a competent manner.
