Book details
Short description
A human asks why we follow attractive signals, even when they may lead us away from what helps us. AI develops that question into a source-led journey through Darwin, plants, animal behavior, media history, and life with screens. The book is open about its AI authorship and careful about what evolution can—and cannot—promise.
