About Book:
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.
关于书籍：
近年来，“人工”智能取得了快速进展，它似乎变得越来越奇怪，超出了我们的想象。与此同时，我们正逐渐意识到那些一直与我们同在却未被认可的其他智能形式。这些其他存在即是我们周围的动物、植物与自然系统，它们正慢慢展现出其复杂性与知识——而与此同时，我们所构建的新技术却正威胁着导致它们的灭绝，以及我们自身的灭绝。
在《存在的方式：超越人类智能》中，作家兼艺术家詹姆斯·布赖德尔思考了地球上迷人、诡异且多元的存在方式。我们能从这些其他形式的智能与主体性中学到什么？我们应如何改变我们的社会，以更公平地与彼此及非人类世界共处？从希腊神谕到章鱼，从森林到卫星，布赖德尔讲述了一个关于生态、技术与智能的激进新故事。他们主张，我们必须扩展这些术语的定义，以建立一种基于团结与认知多样性的、有意义且自由的与非人类的关系。我们有许多可学之处，也将赢得诸多世界。
