    Rethinking intelligence

    What does it mean to be intelligent? Is it something unique to humans, or shared with other beings of flesh, wood, stone, and silicon? The animals, plants, and natural systems that surround us are slowly revealing their complexity, agency, and knowledge, just as the technologies we’ve built to sustain ourselves are threatening to cause their extinction, and ours.

    Artist and maverick thinker James Bridle draws on biology, physics, computation, literature, art, and philosophy to answer important questions about intelligence. Startling and bold, Ways of Being explores the fascinating, strange and numerous forms of knowing, doing, and being which are becoming evident in the present, and which are essential for our survival.
