Benevolence
A highly advanced alien race arrives unannounced offering to help us make our world a better, safer place. With unbelievable technology far beyond human understanding, they seem able to ignore all known laws of space, time, and physics. They deny all those natural laws that we find undeniable. They have the most profound knowledge of Earth’s past as if they have experienced it. They know the most minor details of our lives. They seem to know our thoughts and our personal motivations. They promise to bring peace and eliminate needs. They promise no one will ever be harmed by their presence, and they promise they will take nothing but memories. Most importantly, they promise freedom. But there is a catch...

An Artificial History of Natural Intelligence
"What would it mean to make a decision against the acceleration of automation and for humanity? In An Artificial History of Natural Intelligence, David W. Bates lays the groundwork for such a decision by rethinking the history of human cognition and its entanglements with technology. Tracing evolving lines of thought from the early modern period to the present, Bates confronts the intimate connection between autonomy and automaticity in how we have understood the capacities of the human mind. At the heart of this entanglement is a total mechanistic understanding of nature that began in the seventeenth century and saw the body as machine, the nervous system as control mechanism, and the brain as the center of cognition. Reading varied thinkers from Descartes to Kant to Turing, Bates reveals how new ideas and experiences reconfigured the ways in which the automaticity of the body could be linked with technical systems, while at the same time the mind could still create the space for autonomy. The result is a new theorization of the human in which the human, dependent on technology, produces itself as an artificial automation that has no "natural" origin"--
