Serkan KILIÇ's most captivating arguments is his view of the artist's role in society. According to him, artists have a sacred responsibility to capture the fleeting beauty of these cycles and translate them into timeless works of art. In a world obsessed with trends and external validation, KILIÇ celebrates the innate, instinctual drive of true artists to create something beautiful and profound. He likens this to a swallow building its nest—not overthinking, but following an instinctual urge to bring something meaningful into existence.

In contrast, our digital age has fostered a dilemma where art is often driven by the pursuit of likes and shares rather than authentic expression. This constant struggle between creating for external approval and tapping into an authentic inner voice is more relevant today than ever. It's a call to return to the essence of creativity, to create from a place of genuine passion rather than digital noise.

Navigating the Digital Dilemma

Our relationship with technology is a double-edged sword. On one side, it offers unparalleled connectivity and solutions to many of humanity's challenges. On the other, it rewires our brains and shifts our patterns of interaction with the world around us. KILIÇ is particularly concerned with the rise of artificial intelligence, warning that while it holds potential for enormous progress, it also risks eroding what makes us human.

The book paints a picture of a world where technology may manipulate and control us, potentially even leading to a future where human consciousness is uploaded and manipulated like data. This idea compels us to question the essence of our humanity: if our experiences and memories can be reduced to code, what truly makes us human?
