Hanging from Yggdrasil

Hanging from Yggdrasil explores the eternal balance between violence and wisdom, examining how ancient insights from Norse mythology can illuminate our path through modern technological upheaval. Drawing on history, philosophy, and myth, Max Zeigler invites readers to reflect on the profound need for sacrifice, discipline, and aesthetic vision in shaping a world driven by unprecedented technological power.

The book argues that only by reuniting force and foresight, power and wisdom, can society navigate the coming storms of artificial intelligence, genetic engineering, and robotics, and forge something meaningful and lasting from the chaos.
