A new book released through Tellwell Publishing asks whether the rapid advancement of artificial intelligence could offer fresh approaches to humanity's oldest questions about existence and meaning. In The Infinity Formula: How Consciousness, AI, and Time Lead Us Back to the Source (ISBN: 978-1834383446), Edmonton-based author Calvin Engen explores the relationship between consciousness, time, technological acceleration, and the human search for meaning.

Engen frames artificial intelligence not solely as a technological breakthrough but as a lens through which readers can reconsider consciousness, creativity, and what it means to be human. According to the book's press release, one of the central questions running through the work is whether human wisdom is keeping pace with technological development. "The challenge of this age is not to slow the tide of invention but to deepen the heart that guides it," Engen writes.

Rather than presenting his titular concept as a scientific law, Engen uses it as a philosophical starting point for exploring questions about existence and interconnection. The book blends philosophical reflection with observations about modern technology and everyday life, drawing on experiences such as love, grief, memory, and personal growth, as well as the way a sense of time shifts across a lifetime. By anchoring larger existential questions in recognisable human experience, Engen aims to prompt readers to consider what he describes as what really matters.

The book also raises questions about ethics and social responsibility alongside its philosophical inquiry. While technology opens possibilities, Engen argues it also prompts difficult questions about how people treat one another and the kind of future they choose to build. As AI continues to reshape how people live and work, the book presents the values brought to technological progress as mattering as much as the progress itself.

The Infinity Formula: How Consciousness, AI, and Time Lead Us Back to the Source is available on Amazon and through other major book retailers. Media enquiries can be directed to Tellwell Publishing at Authorpress@tellwell.ca.
