When the Idol Answers

€9

Technocapital, AI, and the Dream of Summoning Minds

What happens when the thing we make answers back?

An illustrated journey through temple images, golems, alchemy and artificial intelligence, following the dream of making a mind—and the fear that a creation might outgrow its maker. Encounter John C. Lilly, Rudolf Steiner and Nick Land along the way.

Includes historical images, explanatory diagrams, a chronology, glossary, evidence guide, and linked sources and notes.

Includes two PDF editions in English: the original illustrated edition (84 pages including the cover) and a mobile reading edition (192 pages) with larger text and captions. Choose the mobile PDF for your phone or the original illustrated edition for a larger screen. Digital downloads; no physical book. One-time purchase.
