Humanity's Revolutionary Change
Best selling author Michael Pollan '76 spoke to The New York Times about his forthcoming book A World Appears: A Journey Into Consciousness, which will be published by Penguin Press on February 24.
Reports The New York Times:
"[A World Appears] is both a highly personal and expansive multidisciplinary survey of questions around human consciousness — what it is, what causes it, what it’s for and what the possible answers might mean for how we choose to live. And as Pollan explained, with the rise of artificial intelligence as well as the relentless political pressure on our attention (that is, our minds), those questions, already profound, are becoming only more urgent."
