George Orwell, author of 1984, worked for the British Broadcasting Corporation for two years. Reflecting on his experience at the BBC, Orwell said, “Its atmosphere is something halfway between a girls’ school and a lunatic asylum and all we are doing at present is useless, or slightly worse than useless.” Many decades later, the BBC is exactly the same. How should we describe the places developing new A.I.? Halfway between Comic Con and a lunatic asylum? People are transfixed by Artificial Intelligence (A.I.). They have forgotten the power of Organic Intelligence (O.I.). Humans became masters of the world and landed men on the moon because of O.I. It was O.I. that thought up A.I. And even greater wonders are possible. Each of us has an unconscious mind with O.I. potentialities barely guessed at. The unconscious is the supreme terra incognita. What lies at the end of that land is the domain of gods, reachable by Bifröst, the sublime rainbow bridge. Discover the Creative Mind, the supra-liminal mind, the subliminal mind, the subjective mind, the bicameral mind. Did the gods once speak directly to us? Find out about synaptic pruning, the triune brain, the evolutionary theories of Lamarck and Wallace. Are their theories superior to Darwinism? The refrigerator mother, the malignant narcissist, the lack of secure base, the mother complex, autism ... how does it all fit together? Ant trails, stem cells, neural nets. What’s it all about? Is the local body controlled by a non-local mind? What is the transmission theory of consciousness? Is the brain a transceiver or a bi-directional transduction device? Is it a filter for cosmic consciousness? Are telepathy and telekinesis possible? Follow the pheromone trail of the ants to Golgonooza, the City of the Imagination, where the Magic Mirror is kept. Mirror, mirror, on the wall, who is the smartest of all? Can we optimize the mind? Is the optimized mind none other than God? Who will pay the Ferryman? Will you always be trapped on the near side of the river? You’ll never make it to the Other Side. Come inside and discover how far from organic intelligence A.I. truly is. Discover how amazing your own mind is, both consciously and unconsciously. Orwell said, “But if thought corrupts language, language can also corrupt thought.” If thought optimizes language, language can also optimize thought. Does “God” think in perfect language? Is that what perfect O.I. is?

Of course, anyone would want to wake up from a really bad dream - especially one that seemed like it may never end, while successively stripping away joys and conveniences of our modern living. The COVID-19 pandemic bestowed on us a collective nightmare experience of varying intensity, akin to a "Black Swan" event, as author and mathematical philosopher Nassim Taleb might describe—given its universal rarity and devastating effects and seeming predictability in hindsight. However, we may remember this remarkable time in our history rather as a "White Swan" event—one that catalyzed a more common occurrence of evolving Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) principles, a mainstreaming of sustainability—fueled by the digital innovations that designed ways to survive and thrive into a new, and more holistic, world order. Now, as we emerge from the remnants of the pandemic’s aftermath, we find ourselves at the late dawn of a new geologic epoch—the "Anthropocene"—where the impact of humans on the planet’s geology and ecosystems looms so monumentally that the gravest threat to our existence stems from our own actions. Contained within these pages, you will discover insights from leaders across diverse domains—community, industry, public administration, and the investment community. Through their own experiences, we unfurl "White Swan sightings"— moments when sustainability flourished in response to reverberations of the COVID-19 virus. More poignantly, the journey ahead carries us beyond the realm of the Black Swan, while the acceleration of digital innovations equips us to herald a new era out of the Anthropocene and into a new one, with sustainability innovations as a critical placemat. The humanistic seismic shifts caused by the Pandemic will generate a future of holistic interoperability between digital and organic matters. We are on the brink of designing unprecedented harmony with each other and equilibrium of regenerative growth with the world around us. The urgency has never been greater, nor the possibilities so profound.

Hephaestus Forge Biotech crafts the gods of tomorrow. Manufacturing prosthetic limbs and bespoke organs, they're represented by double-leg amputee spokesmodel Cymbre Archer. But a lifetime in the spotlight and wearing company tech has taken its toll on Archer, body and soul, and she's now addicted to painkillers and prone to violent outbursts. Then her coordinator steals a robot from the company's lab and asks her to hide it. Blindsided when a living, feeling automaton arrives on her doorstep in a crate, Archer finds that Caelan brings with him an unexpected humanity – and the desperate need for a savior. Archer's no hero, and though she's not the savior Cael needs, it turns out she's the best one he's got.
