Discover a groundbreaking new way of thinking about life, society, and the future of our species that bridges science and human history. Could humans unknowingly be a part of a larger superorganism--one with its own motivations and goals, one that is alive, and conscious, and has the power to shape the future of our species? This is the fascinating theory from author and futurist Byron Reese, who calls this human superorganism "Agora." From there, he looks at how multicellular life came about, how consciousness emerged, and how other superorganisms in nature have formed. Does it have a body? Can Agora explain things that happen that are both under our control and near universally undesirable, such as war? In this unique and ambitious work that spans all of human history and looks boldly into its future, Reese melds science and history to look at the human species from a fresh new perspective.
