“The most successful metaphors become invisible through ubiquity. The same is true of ideology, as it becomes thoroughly integrated into a culture, sheds its contours and distinctive outline, and dissolves finally into pure atmosphere.”
I love how the author could tie up philosophy, science and technology, and personal learnings from experiences together.
Some ideas like re-enchantment are excellent. Some hard questions on singularity, rationalism, AI-driven world are discussed very well by the author in this book.
