Exploring Synthetic Life and Alien Intelligence
This chapter examines synthetic biology and its implications for rethinking life and intelligence, especially in the context of potential extraterrestrial beings. The discussion covers the creation of novel biological entities, such as xenobots, and challenges traditional views on evolution and cognition. By expanding our understanding of intelligence across various life forms, including engineered systems and flora, the chapter invites reflection on the vast possibilities of life beyond Earth.
