2084: The Dance of Technology and Consciousness - Paperback

by Jayana Clerk Phd (Author)

Artificial Intelligence and the Transcendental Human - 2084: The Dance of Technology and Consciousness resolves the conflict between the human spirit and the emergent near-life of AI with magical vignettes that disorient and stretch the imagination. Connected story lines illuminate a grand future for humanity, with stepping stones for AI, algorithms, data, and devices that prompt us to create a future safely lit by the new "fire." 2084 is an invitation into the lives of those who understand the higher dimensions of existence-with or without fetal gene enhancement. These superhumans' relationships vibrate with tenderness and respect, their creative endeavors ranging from music and dance to robotics and communications for adventures in space. Essential are ways to cultivate transcendent capacity in children, with a wise and compassionate understanding of human history, its mistakes, and its transformation. With its profound ethical sense, 2084 liberates the reader from the paralysis of dread, from the impulse to rage against looming challenges, and offers options for generating a new humanity from the best within us, including our divine essence and our startling ingenuity.
