"UFOs, AI, and the Secret Forces Guiding Human Destiny In the early 20th century, a censured Catholic visionary predicted that humanity would soon encounter a new form of intelligence-one that would appear alien, but was something far stranger. By the mid-20th century, other Catholic mystics and science fiction visionaries like Arthur C. Clarke echoed similar prophecies, naming the 21st century as the critical threshold. In The Others, acclaimed author and religious studies scholar D.W. Pasulka uncovers a hidden history of alleged contact between human and non-human intelligences-some framed as angels, others as UFOs/UAP-interwoven with the rise of artificial intelligence and the dream of immortality. Pasulka examines the science of life extension laboratories to the beliefs of UAP experiencers. She unveils a hidden architecture of belief and influence-one in which human consciousness is being reimagined and extended. Drawing on first-person interviews, suppressed histories, and access to insiders in science and tech, The Others explores a startling new terrain: where the sacred meets the synthetic, and where the next phase of human evolution may already be underway"-- Provided by publisher
