D&N Publishing, 2025

The Quickening: The Evolution of Human Consciousness in the Age of AI reveals how artificial intelligence is accelerating the next great shift in human awareness. Blending psychology, philosophy, systems theory, and digital culture, Chris Cathey explores how AI, social media, and networked communication are reshaping the structure of thought itself and ushering humanity into a new era of collective intelligence. Inside, readers will discover how consciousness has evolved from ancient philosophy to modern cognitive science, how digital minds are emerging through machine learning and algorithmic feedback, and how social platforms now function as a global nervous system. Through clear explanations, engaging case studies, and future-focused analysis, the book examines the rise of AI, the ethics of artificial consciousness, and the deep psychological impact of living inside hyperconnected digital ecosystems. From the accelerating pace of change (the Quickening) to the possibility of digital minds collaborating with human intelligence, this book provides a comprehensive guide to understanding consciousness in a rapidly transforming world. Readers will learn how AI is reshaping identity, perception, creativity, decision-making, and the future of what it means to be human. Thought-provoking, accessible, and visionary, The Quickening is essential reading for anyone seeking to understand consciousness, technology, and the future of mind in the age of AI.
