In a new book,\u00a0The Babel Apocalypse<\/em>(published May 2, 2023), internationally-renowned professor of Linguistics,\u00a0Dr. Vyvyan Evans\u00a0predicts that implanting \u2018language chips\u2019 into people\u2019s brains will become the norm. Just as we, today, stream and consume music and movies, in the future, a hybridized human mind means that language learning becomes obsolete. Individuals will be able to stream any language they choose directly into their heads and call up words and grammar as they think and speak, without the painful years of language learning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dr. Evans, author of popular science classics such as The Emoji Code (Picador-Macmillan 2017), explains the likely appeal: \u201cLanguage learning will become obsolete. By the end of this century, technology will enable us to stream language directly into our brains.\u201d Evans continues: \u201cImagine being able to live, work, fall in love with anyone, anywhere in the world without having to learn a new language. No limitations to aspiration. Language streaming technology will transform our lives.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kirkus Reviews\u00a0has awarded The Babel Apocalypse a rare, starred review: \u201cA perfect fusion of SF, thriller, and mystery\u2014smart speculative fiction at its very best.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Reedsy Discovery notes in a \u201cMust Read\u201d five-star review that The Babel Apocalypse is: \u201cthe perfect blend of Sci-Fi, mystery, and thriller, [with] the author\u2019s unique method of crashing a near-future Earth society.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Babel Apocalypse, a work of science fiction, starts from current developments in neural prosthetic technology. The book warns of the dangers of commoditizing the hallmark of what it means to be human: language. The book imagines a future where language is controlled by big tech and leased back to humans via language streaming servers.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
