“Joan genuinely disrupted my financial universe and my perspective of emerging technologies. I was once told that the art of teaching is to inspire others to learn, and Joan managed to do just that with my generation. He incited us to attempt to understand the technology behind cryptocurrencies and social networks, which I credit for reducing my resistance to change. He reassures us that the journey unfolds as we venture forth, unafraid of the future.”

“Joan Cwaik is a relentless explorer, always in pursuit of knowledge and eager to share his discoveries with those interested, while igniting the curiosity of skeptics and the dispassionate. He is also someone who dares to experiment with ideas, concepts, and technologies in his personal life. His quests and experiments serve as his education. And this book is merely the opening chapter of a saga that I am confident will continue to unfold.”

“The technological advancements shaping our contemporary society prompt questions about the destiny of humans, seemingly relinquishing control to their own creations. No historical record matches such profound penetration: the omnipresent interconnection of electronic devices, the development of robotics and Artificial Intelligence, biotechnology, and digital simulation techniques are possibly steering us towards a historic inflection point, often referred to as the singularity. At the end of this journey, scientific thought and religious thought, the real roots of our inventions, converge in the figure of a deity. Technology thus emerges as the guarantor of existence, the architect of the future, the liberator from our shortcomings, and the redeemer of our deficiencies. Amidst this dizzying and elusive stage, we need explanatory narratives to help us comprehend and distance ourselves from the products of our era. This first book by Joan Cwaik offers a fresh opportunity to reconsider our inventions and, by extension, to reflect on ourselves.”
