A pioneer in AI embarks on a dazzling journey in search of the origin and future of life in the universe.

Faced with humanity’s inability to fully comprehend what it means to be alive, Xabi Uribe has devoted his career to challenging the boundaries of knowledge through technological innovation. This book extends that vocation. From the origins of life on Earth to the possibility of future forms of life on or beyond our planet, it offers an invitation to transcend everything we think we know about who we are and where we are heading.

Rich with unconventional ideas and weaving together philosophy, biology, physics, astrobiology, and artificial intelligence, these pages reflect the allure of a provocative mind that, far from seeking a final answer, promises never to stop posing the next hypothesis.
