Homo Silicona: The Next Human is a philosophical and literary exploration of humanity’s future in the age of artificial intelligence. The book examines AI not merely as technology, but as a possible evolutionary successor—Homo Silicona—where human consciousness may one day migrate from biological flesh to silicon-based bodies.
Rooted in evolutionary science, contemporary AI thought, and ancient Indian philosophical traditions, the book reflects on consciousness, immortality, ethics, extinction risk, and the moral challenges of a post-biological future. Written in a hybrid style that blends analytical prose with poetic reflection, it addresses the question: what does it mean to remain human when intelligence is no longer bound to the body?

Dr. Shailendra Mishra
Dr. Shailendra Mishra is a Patna-based physician, poet, and social thinker whose work explores the evolving nature of human consciousness. His intellectual journey moves seamlessly from the spiritual depths of the Vedas, through the critical frameworks of Marxist thought, to the technological threshold of Homo Silicona—reflecting humanity’s timeless search for meaning across changing epochs.
He is the author of three poetry anthologies—Valley of Light, Chingari (Spark), and Chaurahe Par Loktantra (Democracy at Crossroads)—and the co-author of Quiet Conversations, an international poetry anthology published in Sweden. His writings engage readers across cultures and continents, blending philosophical inquiry with poetic insight.
Dr. Mishra coined the term “Homo Silicona” and founded The Age of Homo Silicona, a literary and philosophical movement envisioning the next stage of human evolution—where flesh, thought, and silicon converge in a renewed exploration of identity, consciousness, and destiny.
