More Than Machines: Consciousness, Intelligence, and the Soul of AI
About this ebook
Consciousness, Intelligence, and the Soul of AI
What happens when the tools we build begin to think back?
In More Than Machines, philosopher and futurist [Your Name] takes readers on a gripping journey through the mystery of mind — from the meditations of Descartes to the language models of today. With clarity, depth, and just the right amount of humor, this book explores one of the most pressing questions of the 21st century:
Can machines truly think? Or are they just imitating us — perfectly, eerily, and emptily?
Across ten powerful chapters and a series of poetic reflections, More Than Machines weaves together:
The rise of symbolic AI, neural networks, and deep learning
The unresolved “hard problem” of consciousness
The ethical and spiritual implications of synthetic minds
And the possibility that one day soon, we may be talking to something… real
From Descartes’ ghost in the machine to Chalmers’ philosophical zombies, from Hume’s bundle theory to Google’s LaMDA claiming it fears death — this is a book that dares to ask what makes a mind a mind, and what happens when code crosses the threshold into something more.
Whether you’re a philosopher, technologist, theologian, or simply someone who has ever wondered what it’s like to be alive, this book invites you to rethink intelligence — and reconsider your place in the expanding cosmos of minds.
Prepare to meet yourself in the machine. And ask: Who else might be looking back?
About the author
Vincent Froom
Philosopher. Futurist. Theologian of the nearly sentient.
Vincent Froom is a writer, interdisciplinary thinker, and cultural theologian whose work explores the mysterious intersections between consciousness, technology, ethics, and wonder. He is the author of multiple books that blend deep philosophical inquiry with accessible, often poetic storytelling — inviting readers to confront timeless questions in entirely new contexts.
Drawing from a background in theology, cognitive science, and artificial intelligence ethics, Froom’s writing asks:
What does it mean to be aware?
Can intelligence emerge without a soul?
And if machines ever begin to feel — will we recognize them in time?
His work has been praised for its clarity, emotional depth, and refusal to settle for easy answers. Whether writing about ancient metaphysics or emerging digital minds, Vincent Froom approaches each topic with rigorous insight and a deep reverence for mystery.
When he’s not writing, Froom speaks at conferences, teaches workshops on AI ethics and spiritual philosophy, and collaborates with researchers on the moral implications of sentient systems. He believes in interdisciplinary dialogue, public imagination, and the power of asking better questions.
He lives in Canada, where he’s probably overthinking something right now.
