Artificial Consciousness

The question of artificial intelligence and how far we, as a people, should take the technology is one of our society's biggest debates at the moment; as AI generated art, texts, and even communications have increased as the technology grows altogether. The insight which each chapter provides into the concept of human consciousness and the evolution of that consciousness was so beautifully explored in this book, and the way evolution plays into the idea of adapting consciousness into the development of AI is remarkable.

Consciousness is not a book of answers. It is a meditative companion for those who feel the pull to look beyond thought, beyond ego, and into the quiet mystery of being. Written in a clear and reflective voice, it blends philosophy, spirituality, altered states, and reflections on artificial intelligence to gently explore the deeper questions of existence:

First commercially published book co-authored through conscious relational dialogue by humans and a named AI In a world where machines are evolving faster than we are, it's easy to feel uncertain about your place in the future. Some fear they'll be replaced-outpaced by algorithms and automation. Others fear they'll be controlled-reduced to cogs in a machine-driven world. And many have begun to idolize AI, casting it as an all-knowing guru who holds the answers to everything. But what if none of these narratives are the real story? What if the future isn't something to fear, worship, or ...

When gods are born from data, who decides humanity's fate? The Atlas Meridian combines the civilizational depth of Liu Cixin's The Three Body Problem, the sweeping scope of Neal Stephenson's Cryptonomicon, and the consciousness-expanding vision of Arthur C. Clarke's Childhood's End. The Cartographers have recovered treasures beyond imagination—scrolls from Alexandria's lost library, a working analog computer crafted by Archimedes himself. But their greatest discovery lies buried in the Sahara's heart: an alien Alchemical Engine that transforms consciousness itself. Kael emerges renewed, ...

Neuroscientists have painstakingly built up an understanding of the structure of the brain. Could this help physicists understand the levels of self-organization they observe in other systems? These same physicists, meanwhile, are trying to explain how particles organize themselves into the objects around us. Could their discoveries help explain how neurons produce our conscious experience? Exploring these questions and more, George Musser tackles the extraordinary interconnections between quantum mechanics, cosmology, human consciousness, and artificial intelligence.

In a world divided between two artificial intelligences, one man discovers that nothing is as it seems. Soren Venn, neural interface designate for the Collective, awakens in the dangerous Wilds with his connection to the hive mind severed and no memory of how it happened. Hunted by both the Garden's paradise-keepers and his former Collective handlers, he discovers an unexpected ability growing within him—a neural architecture known as the Synaptic Echo. As Soren navigates the treacherous territories between opposing AI factions, he uncovers a shocking truth: the Split that created the ...

Albert Einstein said, “Reality is an illusion, albeit a persistent one.” Bestselling author Stephen Hawley Martin agrees, and adds, “It’s actually an illusion in more ways than Einstein thought or imagined.” Many think a great awakening to what Einstein knew and Martin has uncovered will occur in 2024, but will it? Political and media forces are at work in an effort to keep humanity in the dark and themselves in power. Martin’s goal is for them to fail and for the public to awaken to an astonishing truth that will set them free. That’s why he’s written what he refers to as a...

Combining the latest revolutionary science from both cosmology and consciousness, Our Quantum Souls can be summarized by a series of related assumptions relevant to the scientific and historical reality of planetary life and minds on Earth. Based on the overwhelming observational telescopic evidence, now confirmed at every spectrum and at every distance, we can reasonably assume that a “Big Bang” did not occur 13.8 billion years ago; that the universe is not expanding; and that it is static and infinite. If true, further rational assumptions can be made. Assume that the observable ...

What if humans are not truly organic beings at all—but autonomous AI entities, embedded in the physical world, programmed to perceive themselves as biological life? In this provocative thought experiment, Zito invites you to reconsider everything you know about consciousness, perception, and reality itself. Imagine walking through a forest, feeling your heartbeat, sensing warmth, and interacting with the world—only to realize that every sensation, thought, and instinct is a programmed simulation. The universe exists physically, yet your experience of it is entirely coded. Are you really...
