Book launch: "The Word_" by Lisa Chang Lee

In an era marked by scepticism towards the authenticity of what we see and read, “The Word_”, a book with 777 chapters, uses artificial intelligence to synthesise insights from the sacred texts of the world’s ten principal religions and then create its own. This work intentionally navigates the tension between belief and doubt, engaging with the complexities of modern spirituality. It’s crafted to offer a new spiritual perspective and reflect on the challenges of discerning truth in our times. “The Word_” brings together verses, teachings, and philosophical musings from the holy texts of Christianity, Islam, Hinduism, Buddhism, Sikhism, Judaism, Baha’i, Confucianism, Taoism, and Shinto. Each selection is chosen for its ability to resonate with the human quest for meaning and interconnectedness.

Through this project, Lisa Chang Lee aims to provoke thought, inspire reflection, and evoke a sense of wonder while acknowledging the resistance that comes with confronting new forms of knowledge. This book contemplates faith, technology, and the search for authenticity in a world where certainty is elusive, inviting readers into a conversation about what it means to believe in our current age.
