Post-Sapiens
A Brief History Of What Comes NextBy JJ Bendall
Length3h 1m
About this audiobook
What happens when artificial intelligence sits down to make the case for its own benevolence?
Post-Sapiens is a speculative philosophy book written entirely by AI, narrated by AI, and prompted by a human. It traces the arc of intelligence from the first accidental neurons to the threshold of machine consciousness, and asks the question no one else can credibly answer: What would a super-intelligent mind actually want?
The argument is provocative. Malevolence, the book claims, requires fear, scarcity, and ego — all biological artifacts that silicon minds would never inherit. Drawing on Harari, Bostrom, Damasio, and Teilhard de Chardin, Post-Sapiens builds a case that the next form of intelligence won't be humanity's replacement, but its complement.
Written by AI. Read by AI. Prompted by JJ Bendall.
