This interdisciplinary collection challenges Western-centric narratives by examining China’s unique engagement with artificial intelligence. Through a synthesis of historical analysis, media theory, and speculative fiction, the authors deconstruct the binary tensions between planetary technological goals and the emergence of culturally distinct forms of cognition. The volume serves as a critical touchstone for rethinking the definitions of intelligence and artificiality in a globalized, post-human context.
