In this book, Philip Hefner produces his final major work on the topic of the created co-creator, depicting Homo sapiens as a memoirist on an ambiguous journey of self-discovery. Hefner, editors Jason P. Roberts and Mladen Turk, and other contributors each give guidance for that journey in an age of science, technology, and faith.
