The Dawn of Symbolic life presents a well researched, fact-based scenario illustrating what could be both our near term and long term future. This book has no hidden agenda or ideological bias. It simply strives to methodically analyze historical trends and the forces shaping the modern world in order to identify what may be a reasonable prediction of our future. In doing so, the book manages to become one of the most blunt, politically incorrect, and stunningly original works on the subject ever put in print. In a blend of economics, philosophy, biology and physics, The Dawn of Symbolic Life attempts to show that mankind is at an epic turning point that will forever alter the course of evolution and usher in a new reality for all forms of life. The reader may or may not be convinced, but he or she will certainly be introduced to some new and thought provoking ideas and a vision of the future never before fully imagined or articulated in such a complete way.
