Philip HoareA thrilling investigation into the pioneering world of
animal communication, where big data and artificial intelligence
are changing our relationship with animals forever In 2015,
wildlife filmmaker Tom Mustill was whale watching when a humpback
breached onto his kayak and nearly killed him. After a video clip
of the event went viral, Tom found himself inundated with theories
about what happened. He became obsessed with trying to find out
what the whale had been thinking and sometimes wished he could just
ask it.In the process of making a film about his experience, he
discovered that might not be such a crazy idea.This is a story
about the pioneers in a new age of discovery, whose cutting-edge
developments in natural science and technology are taking us to the
brink of decoding animal communication - and whales, with their
giant mammalian brains and sophisticated vocalisations, offer one
of the most realistic opportunities for us to do so. Using
'underwater ears,' robotic fish, big data and machine intelligence,
leading scientists and tech-entrepreneurs across the world are
working to turn the fantasy of Dr Dolittle into a reality, upending
much of what we know about these mysterious creatures. But what
would it mean if we were to make contact? And with climate change
threatening ever more species with extinction, would doing so alter
our approach to the natural world?Enormously original and hugely
entertaining, How to Speak Whale is an unforgettable look at how
close we truly are to communicating with another species - and how
doing so might change our world beyond recognition.
