WAYS OF BEING - JAMES BRIDLE KARTONIERT (TB)

'Heady  exhilarating  often astonishing' New York Times 'Iridescently original  deeply
disorientating and yet somehow radically hopeful ... worth reading and rereading' Brian Eno 'Be
prepared to re-evaluate your relationship with the amazing life forms with whom we share the
planet. Fascinating  innovative and thought provoking: I thoroughly recommend Ways of Being' Dr
Jane Goodall  DBE Recent years have seen rapid advances in 'artificial' intelligence  which
increasingly appears to be something stranger than we ever imagined. At the same time  we are
becoming more aware of the other intelligences which have been with us all along  unrecognized.
These other beings are the animals  plants  and natural systems that surround us  and are
slowly revealing their complexity and knowledge - just as the new technologies we've built are
threatening to cause their extinction  and ours. In Ways of Being  writer and artist James
Bridle considers the fascinating  uncanny and multiple ways of existing on earth. What can we
learn from these other forms of intelligence and personhood  and how can we change our
societies to live more equitably with one another and the non-human world? From Greek oracles
to octopuses  forests to satellites  Bridle tells a radical new story about ecology  technology
and intelligence. We must  they argue  expand our definition of these terms to build a
meaningful and free relationship with the non-human  one based on solidarity and cognitive
diversity. We have so much to learn  and many worlds to gain.
