In this title, K Allado-McDowell – a pioneering thinker – tells the hopeful story of a future where artists, shamans and AI researchers collaborate to preserve the ecosystem. Weaving together fiction, memoir, theory and travelogue, this book grapples with the legacies of colonialism and centuries of ecological destruction to present a blueprint for surviving the 21st century, drawing lessons from Indigenous knowledges, neuroscience, art and research.
How can humans and non-humans come together to save the planet in an age of climate crisis? In recent years, we have seen a rise in the popular understanding of non-human intelligence, from octopi to mushrooms to AI. At the same time, man-made systems are under increasing pressure on a warming planet. What must be done to remake our future?
A blueprint for the future of human and non-human planetary intelligence, via a personal journey akin to Eat, Pray, Love – a search for everything in the age of AI.
