Approaching evolution from a different point of view, the Dawn of Symbolic life examines how the rise of civilization and ongoing current technological progress can be seen as an extension of biological evolution.  A fascinating blend of biology, philosophy, and economics, the book outlines a formidable and compelling set of ideas that places mankind at the center of an epic evolutionary event.  An event that the author believes could lead to a transformation of the world as we know it.

  By analyzing such contemporary issues as environmental sustainability, space exploration, the spread of information technology and the role of religion in a modern society from the long-term perspective of the entire history of life, the author reaches some remarkable conclusions concerning the significance of recent events and what they portend for the future.  In a profoundly optimistic assessment, the reader is methodically guided toward a fascinating vision of the future that is both inspiring and somewhat apocalyptic.

    " The Dawn of Symbolic life presents a well researched, fact-based scenario illustrating what could be both our near term and long term future.  This book has no hidden agenda or ideological bias.  It simply strives to methodically analyze historical trends and the forces shaping the modern world in order to identify what may be a reasonable prediction of our future.  In doing so, the book manages to become one of the most blunt, politically incorrect, and stunningly original works on the subject ever put in print."

     " In a blend of economics, philosophy, biology and physics, The Dawn of Symbolic Life attempts to show that mankind is at an epic turning point that will forever alter the course of evolution and usher in a new reality for all forms of life.  The reader may or may not be convinced, but he or she will certainly be introduced to some new and thought provoking ideas and a vision of the future never before fully imagined or articulated in such a complete way."
