Modos de Existir

This is a fascinating essay on non-human intelligence that examines the many ways in which our planet welcomes life. James Bridle tells us a radically new story of biology and technology based on the Oracle of Delphi, octopuses, sequoias and the latest scientific advances. And he brings back into the debate knowledge and know-how that was set aside by the computational revolution, but that has always been there, such as communication between species, in the legal framework that regulates the right to life and the conditions of existence. According to the author - whose work intertwines art, technology and society - we must build a conscious and free relationship with the non-human, based on solidarity and cognitive diversity. Starting from the wonder of nature, technology and science, this book reflects the complexity of the debate on artificial intelligence and proposes ways to avoid technological and environmental catastrophe.
