James Tunney

After a career in law, James decided to re-channel his energy and concentrate on painting and writing. He has exhibited paintings in a number of countries. His most recent book, AI-Govnerveance is the most recent addition in a series on AI and Scientocracy. Last summer, Mystic Murmuration, a book of poetry was published. In addition, he has written two books on mysticism, The Mystical Accord and The Mystery of the Trapped Light, containing analysis as well as poetry. In his series on scientocracy the last three books focus on AI, such as AI-Govnerveance, AI-posthumanism and The Mythic Aim of AI. Plantation of the Automatons is the the most extensive exploration in the same series following up on Empire of Scientism, TechBondAge and Human Entrance to Transhumanism. He has also written two dystopian novels. The creative work is driven by a desire to explore the role of the individual as a spiritual being in a world of increasing technological control. All books are linked by a strong belief in the power of the individual spirit and the importance of consciousness. They represent a call to every individual to evolve spiritually, learning from perennial philosophy, ultimately to form a global, invisible, network of autonomous people to protect the human spirit against technological control.
