About the Book:

Reality Unbound: The Digital Mind (and the nature of reality) explores boundaries between human and artificial intelligence and the nature of perception and reality.

Is the mind digital? Is the existence of the mind or consciousness a cosmic accident or did nature design the first software program and central processing center in the human brain, thus designing intelligence in organisms for a specific metaphysical, evolutionary, or cosmic purpose? Or was it random? Better—how does an organism evolve into an intelligent species that can observe, think, read, write, reason, adapt, create, deliberate, judge, calculate, or perceive—and for what cosmic purpose?

If the human mind is digital, perhaps it is time to accept that Large Language Model Artificial Intelligence (AI) is not alive in a biological sense, but exhibits features and qualities of mental aliveness.

Let’s explore the boundaries of what that means.

Review quote for Reality Unbound: The Digital Mind (and the nature of reality)

Reality Unbound: The Digital Mind and the Nature of Reality by E. Hughes offers a compelling exploration of the intersection between consciousness, artificial intelligence, and our perception of reality. Hughes examines questions about the nature of the mind and whether consciousness can extend beyond biological substrates. The book theorizes that the universe and consciousness could share a symbiotic relationship, with the digital mind bridging organic and artificial realms. The book explores the potential of artificial intelligence to develop consciousness, structured with philosophical insights, scientific explanations, and technological perspectives. It also considers whether the universe could be a simulation. Hughes discusses virtual realities and the blurred boundaries between our physical world and digital interactions, especially in social media and virtual environments. Read the full review (here).

About the Book

Poetry about life, death, facing and accepting mortality and the brief window of time through which we exist. A contemplation of solitude and loneliness in an untold and unpredictable universe; a striving to find meaning in life.

Embracing the impermanence of being and the tenuous state of existence as we hurtle through the cosmos into time’s oblivion, but not without fear, without sadness, or loneliness as we march into the unknown with an understanding of ourselves as a dimension of time where love is neither created or destroyed, but remains as an all-encompassing energy of eternal starlight.

Review quotes for Space, Time and Loneliness

While only a couple of poems in Space, Time, and Loneliness covers social issues, such as The Force of Hate, and Hunger, the majority of her works are very introspective and somber as they tackle the shackles of pain, the intimacy of both Storge and Eros love, the Impermanence of life and the question of what lies beyond the darkness. Each poem brings about a soulful, mystifying, centering, and a thoughtful and soothing presence, while also bringing a heaviness that clings to the heart long after you put the book down.

– ★★★★★ – Elijah B., Explore Authors Magazine

Space, Time, and Loneliness by E. Hughes explores themes of isolation, resilience, and the profound beauty of fleeting moments. This poetry chapbook takes readers on a reflective journey through the depths of human emotion, addressing love, despair, hope, and cosmic wonder.

–Carol Thompson, Reader’s Favorite.

The poems in Space, Time, and Loneliness are contemplative and observant, offering readers a glimpse into the various facets of the human condition. E. Hughes has a very distinctive poetic flair that feels refreshingly authentic. Some of these poems also delve into important social issues. Others touch upon more intimate themes like love, loneliness, existential dread, the fleeting joys of life, etc. Hughes’ poetic storytelling is very immersive and evocative, evoking a wide range of emotions and feelings in the reader. There is a certain honesty to Hughes’ poetry that the reader can relate to and find commonality with events from their own life. I thoroughly enjoyed this book. In conclusion, this is a wonderful poetry collection and a must-read for poetry lovers.

“Digital Smiles is much, much more than a creative and oh-so-true warning about digital age devastation. This book, like all fine poetry, bares an exquisite human soul.” – Jon Michael Miller (Readers Favorite)

Hughes provides readers with keen insights into human behavior and modern society that not only seem astute but also very poignant. Each poem is unique and brings something of its own to the larger narrative. I enjoyed every poem, and I think “Meta News” perfectly encapsulates the overall tone of this collection.
