Verhum

This book is about how society thinks. Verhum can be decoded as "upper mind," that is, thinking outside the brain. In a narrow sense, verhum is the mind of society, and in a broad sense, it is its personality. Verhum is possessed by parliament, army, market, science, large nations, and small families. The book offers an unexpected perspective on many well-known issues – the origin of man, the essence of religion, the prospects of artificial intelligence. It also contains many short stories from the unusual and colorful life of the author.
