The album, along with its thematic predecessor, is influenced by the 1999 Ray Kurzweil book The Age of Spiritual Machines. Spiritual Machines 2 was inspired by Kurzweil following up in the 2020s on his predictions made in the 1990s. Spoken excerpts voiced by Kurzweil feature in the album, as they did in the original Spiritual Machines album.[3] It is the first Our Lady Peace album to involve the participation of founding member and original guitarist Mike Turner[8][9][10] since Gravity in 2002, and the first studio release to feature Saul Fox on its cover since the original Spiritual Machines album.[10] During the band's mid-2022 tour, Kurzweil and Turner were "projected" into the performance space in real time in the form of hologram-like technology.[7]
