How to be Human in the World of AI and Global Warming

More about the book

Set in a future shaped by widespread adult-onset autism following the Covid pandemic and escalating global warming, the narrative explores the emergence of a new human species, Homo neoneanderthalis, characterized by unique perceptual abilities. The story delves into the implications of brain-AI interfaces that create cyborgs, as the human brain's capacity for complex decision-making diminishes. Philosophically, society shifts towards Gandhian principles and localized governance, while archaea evolve to mitigate climate change by replacing trees in carbon dioxide fixation, leading to the evolution of Homo autisticus.
