'Heady, exhilarating, often astonishing' New York Times
'Iridescently original, deeply disorientating and yet somehow
radically hopeful ... worth reading and rereading' Brian Eno 'Be
prepared to re-evaluate your relationship with the amazing life
forms with whom we share the planet. Fascinating, innovative and
thought provoking: I thoroughly recommend Ways of Being' Dr Jane
Goodall, DBE Recent years have seen rapid advances in 'artificial'
intelligence, which increasingly appears to be something stranger
than we ever imagined. At the same time, we are becoming more aware
of the other intelligences which have been with us all along,
unrecognized. These other beings are the animals, plants, and
natural systems that surround us, and are slowly revealing their
complexity and knowledge - just as the new technologies we've built
are threatening to cause their extinction, and ours. In Ways of
Being, writer and artist James Bridle considers the fascinating,
uncanny and multiple ways of existing on earth. What can we learn
from these other forms of intelligence and personhood, and how can
we change our societies to live more equitably with one another and
the non-human world? From Greek oracles to octopuses, forests to
satellites, Bridle tells a radical new story about ecology,
technology and intelligence. We must, they argue, expand our
definition of these terms to build a meaningful and free
relationship with the non-human, one based on solidarity and
cognitive diversity. We have so much to learn, and many worlds to
gain.
