Parallel Minds
Book • 2022
In Parallel Minds, Laura Tripaldi examines how materials themselves participate in producing intelligence, challenging the idea that intelligence is substrate‑indifferent.
Drawing on her background in materials science and engagements with philosophy, she blends case studies, history, and theory to show that material properties shape cognitive and computational possibilities.
Tripaldi traces how soft, living, and otherwise non-silicon substrates instantiate different modes of sensing, learning, and agency.
The book situates technological development within broader cosmologies and material practices, advocating for a shift in how we conceive of matter in technology.
It has influenced thinkers in theory, art, and technology by reframing intelligence as emergent from material relations.
