Carbon-Based Creatures Living in a Silicone World: How Technology Is Rewriting What It Means to Be Human (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798253990032)

The merging of carbon and silicon is no longer theoretical. From wearable devices to artificial intelligence systems, integration is already underway, reshaping both our external world and our internal experience.

This book explores that transformation with clarity and depth, revealing not only how technology is changing the world, but how it is changing us. Because the most important question is no longer: What can technology do? But rather: What is it doing to us?

You are not just human. You are carbon living, thinking biology, in a world increasingly shaped by silicon.
Human beings have long understood themselves through identity, memory, and experience. Yet beneath this familiar narrative lies a deeper reality: we are carbon-based life forms, structured through complex chemistry that gives rise to consciousness itself.
For most of history, this existence unfolded within a natural, biological world. That is no longer the case.

Today, we live in a reality built on silicon, driven by algorithms, data, and artificial intelligence systems that quietly shape how we think, decide, and interact. What began as technology has become an invisible layer surrounding modern life.
We no longer simply use technology. We live inside it. This transformation has been gradual, almost unnoticeable. Devices became essential. Systems became integrated. Algorithms became influential. As a result, human behavior is now continuously observed, predicted, and subtly guided.

This raises urgent questions.
What does it mean to be human in a world increasingly influenced by non-human intelligence? Where does biology end and technology begin?
And as these systems grow more powerful, what happens to autonomy, identity, and control?

The merging of carbon and silicon is no longer theoretical. From wearable devices to artificial intelligence systems, integration is already underway, reshaping both our external world and our internal experience.
This book explores that transformation with clarity and depth, revealing not only how technology is changing the world, but how it is changing us.

Because the most important question is no longer: What can technology do? But rather: What is it doing to us?
