Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Infinity Stares Back: Humanity Strangles on Its Own Limits is a sweeping, unflinching examination of what it means to be human in a world too complex for the human mind. Reid P. Claxton, Ph.D., brings together cognitive science, systems theory, evolutionary psychology, and cosmic perspective to illuminate a species caught in a paradox: capable of extraordinary self-awareness yet unable to transcend the architecture that evolution built. The book traces the arc of human understanding across eighteen chapters, each blending narrative vignette, analytical insight, and philosophical clarity. Claxton explores why modern systems exceed human cognitive capacity, why wisdom cannot scale, why civilizations foresee collapse yet cannot prevent it, and why the universe remains silent no matter how loudly humanity projects meaning onto it. He examines the burden of awareness, the collapse of illusions, the desire for surcease, and the fragile sparks of hope that persist even when the species recognizes its own limits.At the heart of the book is a simple, austere truth: the universe does not judge, does not guide, and does not care. Humanity is not central to anything except itself.
