In the 1920s, the Russian geochemist Vladimir Vernadsky proposed that human thought was becoming a planetary force—a new sphere overlaying the biosphere, made not of rocks or oceans or life but of mind. He called it the noosphere. A hundred years later, no one is quite sure whether he was right.
This book tells the strange career of that idea. It begins with a man at a microscope in St. Petersburg and ends somewhere in the silent cosmos, asking the question Vernadsky raised and never answered: is reason a planetary force, a cosmic attractor, an evolutionary fluke—or all three at once?
Along the way: Russian mystics who wanted to resurrect the dead. A Jesuit paleontologist who saw Christ in the Cambrian. Octopi that open jars. Crows that solve puzzles. Civilizations that may have turned inward instead of outward. And a planet currently being remodeled by the only species on it capable of writing books about the remodeling.
Treating Vernadsky neither as prophet nor as crank, this is a curious, irreverent, and unsparing inquiry into one of the most consequential and least settled ideas in modern science—the proposition that mind matters, somehow, to the universe that produced it.
