God, Human, Animal, Machine

Technology, Metaphor, and the Search for Meaning
Book • 2021
In this book, Meghan O'Gieblyn delves into the complex relationships between technology, human consciousness, and the search for meaning.

She examines how the rise of science and technology has transformed our understanding of the world, from the materialism introduced by Descartes to the modern digital age.

O'Gieblyn draws on her personal experiences as a former fundamentalist Christian and her studies in philosophy to navigate topics such as artificial intelligence, the hard problem of consciousness, and the blending of scientific and religious thought.

The book is a hybrid of history, criticism, philosophy, and memoir, offering a nuanced and thought-provoking exploration of what it means to be human in the face of technological advancements.
