Human Futures with our Nonhuman Symbionts

More about the book

Addressing the urgent need for global action against environmental collapse, the author critiques human hubris and anthropocentrism as key contributors to current crises. By proposing an integrated cognitive framework (ICF), the book explores the interconnectedness of humans, nonhuman lifeforms, and artificial intelligence. Through case studies on gene editing, autopoiesis, and Gaia theory, it examines how these elements interact to foster both risks and opportunities, advocating for a positive path forward that considers the broader ecological context.
