What does it mean to be intelligent? Is it something unique to humans - or do we share it with other beings? We are becoming more aware of the other intelligences which have been with us all along. These other beings are the animals, plants, and natural systems that surround us, and are slowly revealing their complexity and knowledge. In Ways of Being, writer and artist James Bridle considers the multiple ways of existing on earth. What can we learn from these other forms of intelligence and personhood, and how can we change our societies to live more equitably with one another and the non-human world? From forests to satellites, Bridle tells a radical new story about ecology, technology and intelligence. We must, they argue, expand our definition of these terms to build a meaningful relationship with the non-human, based on solidarity and cognitive diversity.
