Artificial intelligence may change the world—but what if the greatest danger isn't the technology itself?

In this episode of The Book Brief Project, we explore 2084: Artificial Intelligence and the Future of Humanity by John C. Lennox. Beginning with C.S. Lewis's warning in The Abolition of Man, we examine how today's debates about AI, transhumanism, surveillance, consciousness and immortality echo questions that have existed for centuries.

Lennox argues that the pursuit of superintelligence is ultimately a theological project disguised as engineering. Along the way, we explore his dialogue with Yuval Noah Harari, Homo Deus, longtermism, artificial consciousness, and the growing ambition to redesign what it means to be human.

But this is more than a summary.

It's also a critical examination of Lennox's central argument—where it succeeds, where it doesn't, and why the deepest question remains unresolved.

Is humanity searching for transcendence because something truly exists beyond us?

Or do we simply keep building new heavens from whatever technology our age provides?

No quick summaries.

Books, taken seriously.
