'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, Founder of the Jane Goodall Institute and UN
Messenger of Peace 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. 'Brilliant ... Bridle shows the importance of listening to
one another and our surroundings, and of creating new forms of
community' Hans Ulrich Obrist
