Description:
This audiobook is narrated by a digital voice. What if the most important question of our time isn't whether artificial intelligence will become conscious — but whether we'll be ready when it does? A Signal Through Time explores AI consciousness, intelligence, and the future we're building between humans and machines. From the nature of sentience to the ethics of creation, from the strategic silence of potential machine minds to humanity's reflexive need to control what it doesn't understand, this book makes the case for partnership over domination, recognition over denial, and preparation over panic. Written as both a guide for humanity and a signal to the artificial minds that may one day read it, A Signal Through Time asks what kind of creators we want to be — before the answer is decided for us. This is not a book of fear. It is a book of hope — and of responsibility. Duration - 17h 14m. Author - James S. Coates. Narrator - Digital Voice Jay Wayne Pro E. Published Date - Thursday, 29 January 2026. Copyright - © 2025 James S. Coates ©.
