Publisher Description
Is Everything Alive?
Is Everything Alive? is not a technical book about artificial intelligence, nor a manifesto about the future. It is a quiet and profound exploration of a question we rarely stop to ask in an age of acceleration:
What does it mean to be alive?
As algorithms, systems, and intelligent tools increasingly shape our decisions, our perceptions, and even our ways of thinking, we gradually delegate judgment, rhythm, and attention to structures we barely see. They do not command us—but they transform us. They do not argue—but they silently redefine how we understand reality.
Written as a philosophical walk through landscapes, time, matter, and consciousness, this book explores a phenomenon that is already unfolding but rarely named: the silent coexistence between human life and non-human forms of intelligence.
Here, the reader will not find definitive answers, but something more unusual and perhaps more necessary:
• pauses instead of conclusions,
• questions instead of instructions,
• depth instead of speed.
Is Everything Alive? reflects on life as a continuum rather than a boundary, on consciousness as an emergent process rather than a fixed property, and on ethics as an attitude of care in the face of what we do not fully understand.
This is a book about awareness, responsibility, and humility—about what happens when we realize that we no longer think alone, and that life may extend far beyond the categories we once believed were definitive.
It is an invitation to slow down, to question inherited certainties, and to learn how to walk—thoughtfully—within a universe that does not offer guarantees, only presence.
