In an era where technologies such as Artificial Intelligence threaten to replace human intelligence, an award-winning scientist offers a radical new perspective on innate human technology and our abilities.
There are rare moments in history where our choices inevitably change the world and our lives. Today is one of those moments. Scientists, engineers, and philosophers warn that without a radical change in our way of thinking, we are on course to be the last generation of "pure" humans.
In a single generation, we might end up as a hybrid of synthetic bodies, Artificial Intelligence, and computational chips, limiting our ability to think, love, and adapt healthily to the conditions of the emerging world. This will lead to the loss of our ability for emotions, empathy, intimacy, and forgiveness—the very qualities we value in human nature.
The question we face is simple: Do we love ourselves enough to preserve the gift of our humanity? Our answer relies on how we have learned to think about ourselves.
This book is a fascinating journey of self-discovery that will take you beyond conventional thinking about your roots, your limits, and, most importantly, the abilities that have remained hidden from you for centuries, as well as the extraordinary potential that awaits you when you embrace them.
