A book that dares to describe individualism as a religion and paint a reality that is primarily virtual, rather than physical. While the authors don’t mind challenging the reader’s view of the self and the world, their main intention is to induce passive receivers of the future to become more active participants. Engaging observations and perceptive interpretations of contemporary society.

In this tour of the history of arguments for and against the existence of God, Nathan Schneider embarks on a remarkable intellectual, historical, and theological journey through the centuries of believers and unbelieversÑfrom ancient Greeks, to medieval Arabs, to todayÕs most eminent philosophers and the New Atheists. Framed by an account of SchneiderÕs own unique journey, God in Proof illuminates the great minds who wrestled with one of historyÕs biggest questions together with their arguments, bringing them to life in their time, and our own. SchneiderÕs sure-handed portrayal of the characters and ideas involved in the search for proof challenges how we normally think about doubt and faith while showing that, in their quest for certainty and the proofs to declare it, thinkers on either side of the God divide are often closer to one another than they would like to think.

A strikingly original exploration of what it might mean to be authentically human in the age of artificial intelligence, from the author of the critically-acclaimed Interior States. • "At times personal, at times philosophical, with a bracing mixture of openness and skepticism, it speaks thoughtfully and articulately to the most crucial issues awaiting our future." —Phillip Lopate “[A] truly fantastic book.”—Ezra Klein For most of human history the world was a magical and enchanted place ruled by forces beyond our understanding. The rise of science and Descartes's division of mind from world made materialism our ruling paradigm, in the process asking whether our own consciousness—i.e., souls—might be illusions. Now the inexorable rise of technology, with artificial intelligences that surpass our comprehension and control, and the spread of digital metaphors for self-understanding, the core questions of existence—identity, knowledge, the very nature and purpose of life itself—urgently require rethinking. Meghan O'Gieblyn tackles this challenge with philosophical rigor, intellectual reach, essayistic verve, refreshing originality, and an ironic sense of contradiction. She draws deeply and sometimes humorously from her own personal experience as a formerly religious believer still haunted by questions of faith, and she serves as the best possible guide to navigating the territory we are all entering.

The authoring of man requires the name of man declared on each book’s existence: such as are seeking to be numbered by the governance of man; the governance of man who rejects God as an author— who insists it be a man. The authoring of God requires the name of man called to be His scribe— who honours well the sourcing enabling the book’s existence. Foolish and forsaken is he who would lie or falsely claim to author what he has not— whilst knowing well he is a scribe called, from within the household of God, for imparting His word both to the end-time Bride and to the multitudes at large. Foolish in deed is he who would decry the living God of love; who would deny the ability of God to convey His words in depth of meaning; in the conciseness of His words with brevity of truth; in the cadence of His words as they fall upon the ears of man; in His choice to speak via the English tongue in both this time and age— where it is assured of great value in bringing comprehension to the future of man: as decided within each lifetime, as directed by freewill choices— those arising with the freedom from the gifting cross— with the welcoming of the law as to be evident in the new testament: then waiting in the wings where the curtain has exploded; in the encoding of His spoken lines as He gathered such in their groupings.
