The Quantum Brain
Could superposition and entanglement explain intuition, creativity, and the speed of human thought? The case for the mind as a quantum system.
A new epoch begins
What if consciousness itself runs on quantum principles? A provocative journey through quantum physics, psychology, and economics: the new society taking shape at their intersection.

Written by tech entrepreneur, futurist and GE alumnus D.J.E. Dawkins, The Emergence of the Quantum Age argues we are approaching a tipping point: a genuine new epoch in human history. Drawing on quantum physics, sociology, economics and psychology, it explores how the deepest layer of reality may be reshaping consciousness, society, and the systems we live by.
Could superposition and entanglement explain intuition, creativity, and the speed of human thought? The case for the mind as a quantum system.
The book's original theory: that human minds connect through resonance at the quantum level, giving new physical grounding to Jung's collective unconscious and synchronicity.
Beyond Nash equilibrium and 20th-century consumerism: programmable CBDCs, DAOs, UBI, and cooperative models for a post-competition society.
Brain-computer interfaces, synthetic content, and the metaverse: the promise of enhanced human capability, and the Orwellian risks we must design against.
An introduction to the Quantum Age and the history of thought that led here.
The hypothesis that cognition operates beyond classical limits.
Invisible threads connecting human behaviour, location, and social dynamics.
A new paradigm, examined through Freudian and Jungian lenses.
From competition to collaboration; conscious capitalism, CBDCs and DAOs.
Cooperative models in action today, from Mondragon to GLS Bank to the Better Business Act.
The 2025 inflection point: AI, regulation, the metaverse, and the changing nature of work.
BCIs, ethics, surveillance risks, and preserving humanity in an era of enhanced realities.
Stimulates debate across psychology, sociology, economics and neuroscience.
A framework for the societal models now emerging.
No physics degree required; concepts are explained from first principles.
