Across two thousand years of discovery — from stars to circuits.
This book traces how discoveries in astronomy, geodesy, biology, manufacturing and modern computing built the foundations of AI — and documents a human–AI collaboration that coauthored the work.
Across the ages, minds have met,
From stars to life, from thought to net.
Hands and hearts, both old and new,
Together built what now we view.
In laboratories, fields, and workshops wide,
Each insight built on those who tried.
Patterns found, and codes refined,
The thread of learning intertwined.
