About this audiobook

Are humans still relevant? A provocation - technological evolution and human existence

The world is changing rapidly - algorithms are making decisions, machines are taking on tasks that were once reserved for humans, and artificial intelligence is developing at a breathtaking pace. But what does that mean for us as a species? Are humans still relevant or are they being challenged by their own technological creation?

This book poses uncomfortable questions and invites you to reflect deeply on the future of human existence. In a fascinating combination of philosophy, science and technology, it analyzes in an understandable way how the digital revolution is changing our identity, our job market and our ethical standards.

For all those who are grappling with the big questions of our time: Are humans masters of their future - or are we heading inexorably towards a new era in which humans themselves become marginal figures?

A rousing and provocative non-fiction book for all those who not only want to observe technological progress, but also actively consider it and possibly help shape it.

About the author

My name is Hermann Selchow, born in 1956. Since my youth, I have been fascinated by social issues and philosophical concepts. For many years I worked at a well-known German theater, where I dealt with the intellectual currents of different eras. Later I turned to other professional fields. At the age of 67, I decided to publish my thoughts in book form in order to share my insights and questions and to provide food for thought for the challenges of our time.
