Thanks Yohan. The first chapter is more of an introduction and a philosophical firewall to keep certain strains of philosophy away. While it encapsulates the major themes of the book, but the book starts in earnest from the second chapter. Looking forward to hear what you think.
I just finished the first chapter. Brilliant! At times I almost felt scared that I was being enticed to a Nietzschean quest to make the ubermensch!
At any rate your writing makes me want to try harder to make the world intelligible.
Also, two SF/fantasy books came to mind: Philip K Dick's Valis, and John Crowley's Aegypt series. Have you read them? Both are somewhat tangential connections.
Yes, I have read Valis, but not the other one. There are some references to Russian cybernetic and sci-fi movement in the late 70s and 80s movements throughout the book too in reference to collective intelligence and Turing's child-machine.
Looking forward. Aegypt is a weird ramble, but buried in it is the idea that people on what you might call the edge of intelligibility have an ability to alter the foundations of the world, during historical 'cusps'.
I will def. read it then. The first example of such a thematic work is written by philosopher Olaf Stapledon turned into a sci-fi writer: First and Last Men and Star Maker. I highly recommend them.
Star Maker was particularly popular among certain analytic philosophers of the 60s like Nelson Goodman, but they are obscure outside both to sci-fi readers and people who work on the question of intelligence.
