Description
James Bridle's Ways of Being Animals, Plants, Machines explores the complex and often uncanny ways of existing on earth. Recent advances in artificial intelligence have highlighted the need to reevaluate our understanding of intelligence and its relationship with the natural world.
The book considers the fascinating ways in which animals, plants, and natural systems exhibit intelligence and personhood, and how we can learn from these other forms of existence. Bridle argues that our definition of intelligence and technology must be expanded to build a more equitable and sustainable relationship with the non-human world.
Through a diverse range of examples, from Greek oracles to octopuses, forests to satellites, Bridle tells a radical new story about ecology, technology, and intelligence. This book offers a thought-provoking exploration of the interconnectedness of our world and the need for a more inclusive and diverse understanding of intelligence.
