'Exploring the transformations sweeping our world'
Noema is published by The Berggruen Institute 'established in 2010 to develop foundational ideas about how to reshape political and social institutions in the face of these great transformations.' In ancient Greek, noema means 'thinking' or the 'object of thought'.
The fifth issue continues on from the third and fourth: from rupture to passage to this edition's theme of threshold. Charting several thresholds which humans are gearing up to cross, be that those involving 'superintelligent machines' to 'synthetic biology', this issue explores how we might understand ourselves as we breach our containment to become a planetary civilisation.
Find inside essays on themes including 'The Feral Mind of Artificial Intelligence, What AI Teaches Us About Good Writing, Rewilding the Internet, What Comes After Liberalism, Digital Twins, Superhuman AI, China in 2035, and more.'
