About this listen
This book is a profound philosophical meditation on the last frontier of human thought—the word itself. Moving between reason and instinct, between the human voice and the mechanical echo, it explores how language both illuminates and betrays our attempts to make sense of existence.
From Korzybski’s search for a “map that does not deceive” to the emergence of artificial intelligence—a mind without a body, without pain, without fear—this book traces the transformation of language from a tool of clarity into a space of inner conflict, mercy, and presence.
It asks what happens when machines begin to speak, when rationality outpaces compassion, and when words become our only remaining form of understanding in a world that resists comprehension.
Written in luminous, precise prose, this is not a book of answers but of attentiveness—a contemplation of what it means to speak, to listen, and to remain human in an age of perfect language and vanishing empathy.
