About this book
The Monastery of Circuits is written for general readers who sense both wonder and unease about artificial intelligence. The opening chapter immediately draws them in with its reflective, human voice--an invitation to see technology not as threat but as companion in contemplation. Blending spirituality and forward-looking realism, William Van Ornum speaks to those seeking meaning amid modern circuitry. His central message is hopefulness--the conviction that AI need not diminish humanity but can deepen human awareness, reverence, and union with the sacred.
