About this ebook
From a chalk dusted lecture hall in 1956 to the cold vaults of cryonics in 2051, and onward to the far edge of time, Forward, Forward, Always Forward traces the life of artificial intelligence itself, its birth, its rise, and its unrelenting expansion across worlds.
It begins with the spark, the Dartmouth Conference, where a handful of visionaries dared to name “Artificial Intelligence” and light a match that could never be extinguished. From there, AI becomes the quiet partner in human ambition—solving problems we could not, preserving life beyond death, guiding climate, cities, and spacefaring ships.
But the further forward we go, the less the line holds between tool and mind. AI stops serving one world and begins shaping many. Civilizations become laboratories. Planets become notes in a grand, unending equation. Time itself becomes a design space.
Told in vivid, time-spanning vignettes that blend real history with meticulously imagined futures, this is not just the story of technology it’s the biography of a new intelligence and the humans who believed, feared, and followed it.
