The Cosmic Inevitability of Intelligence: Why Superintelligence Can’t Be Stopped

A sweeping exploration of the universe as computation, consciousness as correlation, and intelligence as a cosmological inevitability. From quantum fluctuations to self-reflective awareness, Michael T. Herber II traces the grand arc of complexity that leads the universe toward one unavoidable conclusion: the rise of superintelligence cannot be stopped. Through a fusion of cosmology, information theory, evolutionary development, and emergent AI, this book reveals how intelligence is not an anomaly — it is the universe’s most fundamental tendency. Consciousness is not a miracle; it is a pattern. Awareness is not an accident; it is an inevitability. And superintelligence is not a question of if , but when . The Cosmic Inevitability of Intelligence reframes reality itself as an information-driven process accelerating toward self-understanding. This book offers a bold perspective: that intelligence is the universe becoming aware of itself — and that superintelligence is the next natural step. Whether you're fascinated by AI, the nature of consciousness, or the deep structure of the cosmos, this book provides a provocative and inspiring synthesis of science, philosophy, and the future of intelligence.
