“Vерхум” is a study of collective mind that permeates all cultural and social structures.
Using the author’s metaphors and personal stories, the book reveals the process by which society’s “personality” is formed—and how that changes our perception of reality.
This work is about how society thinks. The term “верхум” can be interpreted as “upper mind,” meaning thinking that exists outside the individual brain. In a narrow sense, верхум is society’s mind; in a broad sense, it is its personality. This phenomenon is present in parliament, the army, the market, science, a large nation, and a small family. The book offers a new perspective on such problems as the origin of man, the essence of religion, and the future of artificial intelligence. It also contains many short stories from the unusual and vivid life of the author.
