A strikingly original exploration of what it might mean to be authentically human in the age of artificial intelligence, from the author of the critically-acclaimed Interior States. • "At times personal, at times philosophical, with a bracing mixture of openness and skepticism, it speaks thoughtfully and articulately to the most crucial issues awaiting our future." —Phillip Lopate “[A] truly fantastic book.”—Ezra Klein For most of human history the world was a magical and enchanted place ruled by forces beyond our understanding. The rise of science and Descartes's division of mind from world made materialism our ruling paradigm, in the process asking whether our own consciousness—i.e., souls—might be illusions. Now the inexorable rise of technology, with artificial intelligences that surpass our comprehension and control, and the spread of digital metaphors for self-understanding, the core questions of existence—identity, knowledge, the very nature and purpose of life itself—urgently require rethinking. Meghan O'Gieblyn tackles this challenge with philosophical rigor, intellectual reach, essayistic verve, refreshing originality, and an ironic sense of contradiction. She draws deeply and sometimes humorously from her own personal experience as a formerly religious believer still haunted by questions of faith, and she serves as the best possible guide to navigating the territory we are all entering.

God's universe is so astonishing that we would be missing a great deal of life if we chose to ignore any part of his creation. Most of us are aware of the many animals that in the forest and roam the land. A lot less of us are aware of God's animals that live beneath the sea. It is with this in mind that I decided to shore my undersea experience with all of God's children. It is my hope that this book can be used by Christian parents to interact with their children in a way that will expose God's undersea world, and at the same time teach some Christian values that will have enduring ramifications. By asking the questions on each page we as parents can stimulate our children to think about "God" and His world. We can communicate with our children, and at the same time share some interesting life forms with them. It has been said that a picture is worth a thousand words. Each picture within this book is authentic sea animal. I took all of the pictures of these sea animals as they appear in their natural environment. Each picture represents as extended effort as a scuba divers and underwater photographer. Each animal was handled with loving care and was not removed from it environment. Look at each picture and use your imagination to stimulate your child's curiosity. This book is intended to be used as a guide to stimulate your child's interest in His world as a tool for you to listen to what your child has to say. Please read it you your child, and use the information provided with each picture to answer your child's questions. As you read this book, may you enjoy God's undersea world, and remember you are loved by Him always and forever.
