Becoming Homo Lucidus

By Min Ding

What happens when humanity steps beyond the limits of biology and creates intelligence greater than its own? Becoming Homo lucidus offers a bold vision of that future and a roadmap for how to prepare.

The book traces humanity's journey from Biological Intelligence (BI) to Digital Intelligence (DI), showing how the two will converge to usher in Homo lucidus, ageless human beings with Pinnacle Intelligence and Enlightened Needs (ENs). Readers are invited to imagine Lucidus Society, coinhabited by Homo lucidus and DI, organized around abundance, fairness, and peace. Far from abstract speculation, this book incorporates vivid thought experiments and real-world examples to provide practical guidance. It offers frameworks for building resilience in body and mind, cultivating meaningful relationships, excelling in learning and vocation in an age of disruption, and preparing for life alongside Tutelary Digital Intelligence (tDI). It also explores the deeper pursuits that will sustain meaning once scarcity no longer dominates human concerns.

If you wonder what the rise of Digital Intelligence (DI) means for your life, your children, or the world you live in, Becoming Homo lucidus is both a guide and an invitation: to endure until 2035, navigate the turbulent transition to 2045, and prosper in lifespans that may extend for centuries and more.
