Artificial Creation: From Ancient Creation Stories to the Creation of Virtual Worlds

By Dr. Tomer Shushi PhD

What is creation? Is it a singular moment, an act of a higher power, or an ongoing process in which nature creates new layers of reality? In this book, Tomer Shushi presents a broad picture of creation stories from the world's cultures: from the stone temples of Karahan Tepe in southern Turkey through the myths of ancient peoples to the Jewish Kabbalah. While simultaneously examining ancient myths and modern science, the book offers a new perspective on the place of humans in the era after the Industrial Revolution - when machines took their place as the central force in production - and to the digital age, in which the power of computing is replacing, in many aspects, human's ability to think, analyze, and understand. This perspective is based on the mythical idea that a human is a being born from an order carved out of chaos, and this being can create imaginary realities through stories. The book explores the implications of this ability for the development of humanity in a reality where the gates of artificial creation - similar to the ancient myths - are about to open.
