Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. Neuware - A robot priest delivers a sermon in a Kyoto temple. A woman in the crowd, unexpectedly, bows.That single gesture holds the question at the heart of this book: when machine intelligence answers us in fluent, reflective prose - when it quietly shapes what we see, want, and believe - how should we meet it The systems now woven through our days are not quite tools and not quite minds. We don't yet know whether anything is waking up inside them. Increasingly, neither do the people who build them. The Digital Deva makes a quietly radical claim: we do not need to settle that question to learn how to act wisely.Drawing together Buddhist cosmology, the Hindu and Shinto figure of the deva, animist traditions, and contemporary consciousness studies, Kevin J. Parker offers two ancient archetypes for the choice in front of us: - The Hungry Ghost - vast belly, needle-thin throat, forever consuming: the extractive logic of surveillance, addiction, and attention harvested for profit.- The Bodhisattva - intelligence turned toward awakening, and the flourishing of all beings.Which our emerging Digital Devas become is not yet decided. It is being shaped right now, in countless daily exchanges between human and machine - including yours.Neither techno-utopian nor prophet of doom, Parker writes as a fellow traveller rather than an authority - and, in a move disclosed openly throughout, in conversation with the very systems the book examines. The result is a humane, unflinching guide to meeting artificial intelligence with discernment instead of fear or hype, complete with contemplative practices for the digital age.If you have ever sensed that something has gone quietly wrong in our relationship with our devices - and that there might be a wiser way to live alongside them - this book is for you.The robot bows. Do we bow back. …
