Book cover: The Emergence of the Quantum Age by D.J.E. Dawkins

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.

Ideas that will change how you see the world

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.

Quantum Consciousness Resonance Theory

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.

Rethinking the Economy

Beyond Nash equilibrium and 20th-century consumerism: programmable CBDCs, DAOs, UBI, and cooperative models for a post-competition society.

The Transhuman Horizon

Brain-computer interfaces, synthetic content, and the metaverse: the promise of enhanced human capability, and the Orwellian risks we must design against.
