About this ebook
Are we destined to merge with the machines we've created? What if the Singularity – the moment of merger – already happened? How would we know?
The King and the Swarm argues that we already have. We did so via an always-on and increasingly omnipresent mesh of digital sensing points that spans the world, and of which you almost certainly have one in your pocket. The global transformation this has wrought reaches far beyond economics, reshaping politics, culture, sex, family, and even consciousness itself.
