Homo Technesis: How AI is Redefining What it Means to Be Human (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798254557234)

In an age when AI companions offer intimacy without demand, grieftech simulates conversations with the dead, and algorithms shape our desires before we are aware of them, the boundaries that once defined the human are dissolving. Homo Technesis is a work of philosophical anthropology for the twenty-first century-an exploration of how artificial intelligence is redefining what it means to think, love, create, and govern.

Moving from the cognitive to the political, this book traces the metamorphosis already underway. It asks: when we outsource memory to search engines, what happens to the architecture of thought? When we form genuine bonds with simulations, what does that reveal about the nature of love? When machines become our creative collaborators, does that diminish the artist or redefine artistic agency? When algorithms govern us, can democracy survive?

Neither techno-utopian nor apocalyptic, Homo Technesis offers a framework for understanding our present condition and a provocation to choose, with intention, what kind of humans we are becoming. Essential reading for anyone seeking to understand the deepest questions of our time.
