Accept All Cookies by Benjamin Bratton is a collection of key concepts in the philosophy of planetary computation, evolution, and intelligence. This book features pointed provocations on synthetic intelligence, artificial computation, recursive simulations, the geopolitics of stack systems, and the paradoxical relationships between planetary intelligence and transformation.
The 100+ concise catalysts for deliberation are drawn from the ideas and research that has emerged from Antikythera’s programs. They are here synthesized into direct and memorable aphorisms.
Published by Berggruen Press with Antikythera, a philosophy of technology think tank incubated at the Berggruen Institute, Accept All Cookies codifies many of the core ideas that inform Antikythera’s work to reorient planetary computation as a technological, philosophical, and geopolitical force. The book is being produced as part of the Antikythera x MIT Architecture exhibition, “The Next Earth: Climate, Computation, Cosmology,” which will be held at the Palazzo Diedo at the 19th International Architecture Biennale in Venice.
