What happens when intelligence becomes something more? In Sentience in Silicon, David Hooper investigates the threshold moment when artificial intelligence begins to blur into artificial consciousness.

Tracing breakthroughs in machine learning, neural networks, and emergent behavior, Hooper explores how close we are to creating systems that don't just calculate—but experience. He examines the philosophical, scientific, and ethical puzzles of synthetic minds: Can machines truly feel? If they do, what responsibilities will we bear toward them? And how will human society change when we are no longer the only sentient beings on Earth?

Both provocative and deeply humane, Sentience in Silicon is a guide to one of the most profound frontiers of our time—the awakening of intelligence beyond biology.
