We Are All Magi Now: Immortality, Infinite Knowledge, and Unlimited Power in the Age of Technology
Synopsis
We Are All Magi Now: Immortality, Infinite Knowledge, and Unlimited Power in the Age of TechnologyFor thousands of years, the Magus-the seeker of immortality, wealth, knowledge, and power-stood at the edge of science and magic. From Hermes Trismegistus and John Dee to Paracelsus, Giordano Bruno, and Isaac Newton, these visionaries sought the secrets of creation itself.
Today, their dreams are no longer myth. With AI, genetic engineering, nuclear energy, and digital networks, humanity now wields the very powers the Magi once pursued in secret.
In this provocative book, John Cousins uncovers the hidden history of magic and science, revealing how yesterday's alchemy became today's technology-and why we are all Magi now.
- Explore the Magus's four eternal goals: immortality, wealth, knowledge, power.
- Discover how Hermetic philosophy shaped the scientific revolution.
- See how modern breakthroughs fulfill ancient prophecies.
- Confront the urgent choice: will we use this power with wisdom-or repeat Faust's tragic bargain?
Perfect for readers of Yuval Noah Harari, Arthur C. Clarke, Frances Yates, and Graham Hancock, this book blends secret history, philosophy, and technology to reveal the destiny of our age.
