An independent press
Consilience Now Press
Books that refuse the disciplinary silos — where modern physics, artificial intelligence, and the contemplative traditions are read as one conversation about what the cosmos is and what it means to be awake inside it.
Consilience is the idea that knowledge should slam together at high-speeds to make sure all the interesting spinoffs are spun. The most interesting questions of our moment — what consciousness is, whether a machine can have it, what a meaningful life looks like in a computational cosmos — do not sit politely inside a single discipline.
Consilience Now Press exists to publish the books that follow those questions wherever they lead: across physics and philosophy, artificial intelligence and the wisdom traditions, the rigor of the lab and the discipline of the cushion. It is a small, independent imprint with a large appetite — for arguments that are ambitious without being sloppy, and for prose that treats a reader as a fellow thinker rather than an audience to be managed.
Consilience Now Press was founded by Justin Harnish to publish his own work first, and to make room, over time, for other writers working the same seam between the sciences and the humanities.
From the Catalog
One book in print, two more on the way — each a consilience of its own.
Meaning in the Multiverse
A wild ride through the latest physics and artificial intelligence and the wisdom traditions of meditation — asking whether the cosmos, in all its formulations, offers a meaningful and even loving inclination toward us. The debut title.
Marshal Your Awareness
A book on the disciplined cultivation of awareness as the only ingredient to a satisfactory examined life and nurturing relationships. In progress.
(E)merging
A proposal at the seam of complexity science, artificial intelligence, and the study of mind — how emergence turns simple rules into cognition, and what that means for building minds on purpose.
Consilience as a knowledge collider.
