Recommendation
James Lovelock introduced the Gaia hypothesis in the 1970s. Gaia, he argues, is a living system that connects all things and maintains Earth’s temperate climate. Humans disrupted this delicate barometer with the “age of fire” – the Anthropocene – by transforming the planet on a massive scale. The Novacene, a new era in which humans and artificial intelligence will work together to preserve life on Earth, now begins. Expansive and eloquent, Lovelock – at age 100 – ponders his deep love for all existing life, and offers hope for the age to come.
