A bold examination of artificial intelligence, consciousness, technology, and the human urge to return to the womb.
The thesis of Big Mother begins with the premise that our disembodiment as a species is being engineered, and that, at the same time, we are engineering it through technology. It proposes that the primary driving force of human civilization is the desire to create through technology a replica of the mother’s body―and then disappear into it.
Taking us into the uncanny valley where neurodiversity, linguistics, consciousness, technology, demonology, Rudolf Steiner, Philip K. Dick, Norman Bates, Ted Bundy, transgenderism, liquid modernity, identity politics, the surveillance state, virtual reality, transhumanism, Satanism, medical totalitarianism, and a new world religion of scientism collide, Big Mother explodes the technologically-assembled and technocratically-imposed architecture of illusion in which the modern human being is increasingly lost inside, and points the way back to our original soul natures.
“This book is indeed a bold journey through the dark aspects of existence; having read it, existence seems even darker and more mysterious than before. But I can see far more details in the shadows, and I came away with a deeper understanding of myself and my relationships, even if some of our demons will never be adequately pinned down. If you like thinking deep thoughts, going down rabbit holes, and wondering where it’s all going, this would be an outstanding addition to your weird library. If one considers the dark aspects of existence to be weeds, Jasun Horsley is going for their roots, which is messy but wiser than more superficial treatments. He thinks things through more deeply than just about anyone I’ve ever read, at least among living writers.” (Amazon review)
