A brief dedication sets a quiet baseline: the future is not only a technical question, but a human one.
The book is offered in gratitude to a teacher of inner attention. That matters because the argument keeps returning to a simple tension: we may gain immense power over bodies and societies, while still understanding very little about experience itself.
It also signals a discipline in the background. When the narrative later moves through big data, algorithms, and engineered minds, the dedication reminds you that the most important arena might still be the one inside a single skull.
If tomorrow asks what to worship, the dedication hints at a different answer: learn to see clearly before you upgrade anything.
