About this listen
Read by the author.
Will technology change what it means to be human?
You don't have to be a computer scientist to have discerning conversations about artificial intelligence and technology. We all wonder where we're headed. Even now, technological innovations and machine learning have a daily impact on our lives, and many of us see good reasons to dread the future. Are we doomed to the surveillance society imagined in George Orwell's 1984?
Mathematician and philosopher John Lennox believes that there are credible responses to the daunting questions that AI poses, and he shows that Christianity has some very serious, sensible, evidence-based things to say about the nature of our quest for superintelligence.
This newly updated and expanded edition of 2084 will introduce you to a kaleidoscope of ideas:
- Key recent developments in technological enhancement, bioengineering, and, in particular, artificial intelligence.
- Consideration of the nature of AI systems with insights from neuroscience
- The way AI is changing how we communicate, implications for medicine, manufacturing and the military, its use in advertising and automobiles, and education and the future of work
- How data is used today for surveillance, thought control
- The rise of virtual reality and the metaverse
- The transhumanist agenda and longtermism
- The agreements and disagreements that scientists and experts have about the future of AI
- The urgent need for regulation and control in light of the development of large language transformers like CHATGPT.
- Key insights from Scripture about the nature of human beings, the soul, our moral sense, our future, and what separates us from machines.
In straight-forward, accessible language, you will get a better understanding of the current capacity of AI, its potential benefits and dangers, the facts and the fiction, as well as possible future implications.
Since the questions posed by AI, daunting as they might be, affect most of us, they demand answers. 2084 and the AI Revolution, Updated and Expanded Edition has been written to challenge and ignite the curiosity of all listeners. Whatever your worldview, Lennox provides clear information and credible answers that will bring you real hope for the future of humanity.
Questions and charts can be found in the audiobook companion PDF download.

Oxford mathematician and author John Lennox takes a closer look at Hawking's logic regarding what brought the universe into being. In lively, layman's terms, Lennox guides us through the key points in Hawking's arguments - with clear explanations of the latest scientific and philosophical methods and theories - and demonstrates that far from disproving a creator God, they make his existence seem all the more probable.

An inspiring new perspective on the science versus religion debate. Can science explain everything? Many people think so. Science, and the technologies it has spawned, has delivered so much to the world: Clean water; more food; better healthcare; longer life. And we live in a time of rapid scientific progress that holds enormous promise for many of the problems we face as humankind. So much so, in fact, that many see no need or use for religion and belief systems that offer us answers to the mysteries of our universe. Science has explained it, they assume. Religion is redundant.

The world of work is expanding. New technologies, industries and means of meeting apart–and–still–together, have presided in the transition of the workplace into a fast, digital and busier–than–ever era. In whichever sector you care to name, work is increasing exponentially, for reducing rewards and benefits. It is more than easy to complain, drag one’s feet while getting out of the door, and face daily tasks with an apathetic attitude. A Good Return does not provide maxims to get you through the day.

Story
Abraham is unquestionably one of the most outstanding and influential figures in world history. He had no political or military achievements, and he left no literary remains, yet today billions of people claim him as their spiritual father. Throughout the Bible, Abraham is seen as a pivotal figure in God's plan of salvation. In this richly detailed account of his life and times, John Lennox helps us to see through mists of the past to the real flesh-and-blood man, with all his strengths and weaknesses, to better appreciate all that Abraham stands for as a model of faith today.

In light of the ten common rules of evidence that he’d used to solve crimes throughout his career, Wallace realized he could no longer deny the truth of Jesus Christ.

From Machiavelli's The Prince to Karl Marx's Communist Manifesto to Alfred Kinsey's Sexual Behavior in the Human Male, these "influential" books have led to war, genocide, totalitarian oppression, family breakdown, and disastrous social experiments. And yet these authors' bad ideas are still popular and pervasive. Here with the antidote is Professor Benjamin Wiker.

There are four ways to die, and only one of them requires an intruder. Suicides, accidental, and natural deaths can occur without any evidence from outside the room. But murders typically involve suspects external to the crime scene. If there's evidence of an outside intruder, homicide detectives have to prepare for a chase. Intruders turn death scenes into crime scenes.

Daily Wire writer Matt Walsh confronts his fellow Christians in this bold, clear-eyed book that serves as an urgent reminder of Matthew 7:13 - "For wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to destruction, and many enter through it."

Daniel's story is one of extraordinary faith in God lived out at the pinnacle of executive power. It tells of four teenage friends, born in the tiny state of Judah about 26 centuries ago, but captured by Nebuchadnezzar, emperor of Babylon. Daniel describes how they eventually rose to the top echelons of administration. Daniel and his friends did not simply maintain their private devotion to God; they maintained a high-profile witness in a pluralistic society antagonistic to their faith.

Is Atheism Dead? is an entertaining, impressively wide-ranging, and decidedly provocative answer to that famous 1966 Time cover that itself provocatively asked “Is God Dead?” In a voice that is by turns witty, muscular, and poetic, Metaxas intentionally echoes C. S. Lewis and G. K. Chesterton in cheerfully and logically making his astonishing case, along the way presenting breathtaking - and often withering - new evidence and arguments against the idea of a Creatorless universe.

Story
If we are to believe many modern commentators, science has squeezed God into a corner, killed and then buried him with its all-embracing explanations. Atheism, we are told, is the only intellectually tenable position, and any attempt to reintroduce God is likely to impede the progress of science. In this audiobook, John Lennox invites us to consider such claims very carefully. Is it really true, he asks, that everything in science points towards atheism? Has science buried God? God's Undertaker is an invaluable contribution to the debate about science's relationship to religion.

Story
An inspiring new perspective on the science versus religion debate. Can science explain everything? Many people think so. Science, and the technologies it has spawned, has delivered so much to the world: Clean water; more food; better healthcare; longer life. And we live in a time of rapid scientific progress that holds enormous promise for many of the problems we face as humankind. So much so, in fact, that many see no need or use for religion and belief systems that offer us answers to the mysteries of our universe. Science has explained it, they assume. Religion is redundant.

Tackling the likes of Richard Dawkins, Stephen Hawking, Christopher Hitchens, and Daniel Dennett head on, John Lennox highlights the fallacies in the their approach, arguing that their irrational and unscientific methodology leaves them guilty of the same obstinate foolishness of which they accuse dogmatic religious folks.

At first glance, 2084: Artificial Intelligence and the Future of Humanity might seem like just another book speculating about the dangers of AI or warning of an Orwellian future. But to judge this book by its cover would be a mistake. John Lennox does far more than merely analyze technological trends—he takes readers on a profound exploration of the philosophical, ethical, and theological implications of artificial intelligence.
This is not a sensationalist doomsday prediction or a dry technical manual. Instead, 2084 is a thoughtful, well-reasoned engagement with the biggest questions AI forces us to ask: What does it mean to be human? Can machines ever possess moral responsibility? Where is society headed with rapid technological advancements? And, most importantly, how does the biblical worldview uniquely equip us to navigate these challenges?
Lennox’s treatment of AI is balanced, neither alarmist nor blindly optimistic. He presents the facts with clarity, engages with leading thinkers in the field, and demonstrates why Christianity offers a coherent and hopeful foundation for understanding the future. Beneath its cover, 2084 is a book about far more than AI—it’s a compelling discussion on human identity, purpose, and destiny in the face of a rapidly changing world.
If you think this is just another book on AI, think again. 2084 is a must-read for anyone who wants to engage with the real issues shaping our future.

What this book is . . .
A Thoughtful, Gospel-Centered Examination of Artificial Intelligence and the Future of Humanity
In 2084: Artificial Intelligence and the Future of Humanity (Updated and Expanded Edition), John Lennox, a distinguished mathematician and philosopher, offers an illuminating and deeply insightful exploration of artificial intelligence, its rapid advancements, and its profound implications for society, ethics, and human identity. Far from being a mere technological primer, 2084 takes readers on an intellectual journey that traverses the intersections of science, philosophy, theology, and biblical eschatology, providing a balanced and accessible perspective on some of the most urgent questions of our time.
Lennox begins by mapping out the key developments in artificial intelligence (AI), from narrow AI applications to the ambitious quest for Artificial General Intelligence (AGI). With clarity and precision, he explains what AI is (and isn’t), how it functions, and where it may be leading us. He critically engages with both utopian and dystopian visions of AI’s future, drawing comparisons to Orwell’s 1984 while also examining contemporary issues such as mass surveillance, big data, transhumanism, and the metaverse.
However, what truly sets 2084 apart is its engagement with the deeper philosophical and theological questions AI provokes. Lennox challenges readers to consider the nature of consciousness, human uniqueness, and the origin of morality. Can machines ever possess true moral agency? Is humanity reducible to mere computational processes, or is there something irreducibly unique about being human? In addressing these questions, he contrasts secular visions of an upgraded "Homo Deus" (a godlike post-human) with the biblical understanding of humanity as created in the image of God.
Throughout the book, Lennox masterfully weaves in a robust Christian perspective, showing how Scripture speaks directly to our concerns about the future. He engages with the Genesis account of creation, the moral fabric of humanity, and the eschatological vision found in the book of Revelation, offering a hope-filled alternative to both technocratic determinism and existential despair. By doing so, he presents a compelling case for the Gospel in the face of AI-driven uncertainty.
For those grappling with the rapid advancements of technology and their ethical implications, 2084 is an essential read. Whether you are a skeptic, a technophile, or someone searching for answers in an increasingly digital age, Lennox’s rigorous yet accessible analysis will equip you with the critical tools to think wisely about AI and its role in shaping our future. More than just a book about technology, 2084 is a profound reflection on what it means to be human—and why that definition ultimately finds its fullest meaning in the God who created us.
