An incredibly compelling window into the current developments and
exponential future of AI—from the ultimate insider…If you really want to
understand how society can safely navigate this world-changing technology,
read this book.

The Coming Wave is a fascinating, well-written, and important book. It explores the existential dangers that AI and biotechnology pose to humankind, and offers practical solutions for how we can contain the threat. The coming technological wave promises to provide humanity with godlike powers of creation, but if we fail to manage it wisely, it may destroy us.

The coming wave of AI and synthetic biology will make the next decade
the best in human history. Or the worst. No one recognizes and explains the
epic challenges ahead better than Mustafa Suleyman. Thought-provoking,
urgent, and written in powerful, highly accessible prose, this is a must-read
book for anyone interested in understanding the staggering power of these
technologies.

In this bold book, Mustafa Suleyman, one of high tech’s true insiders, addresses the most important paradox of our time: we have to contain uncontainable technologies. As he explains, generative AI, synthetic biology, robotics, and other innovations are improving and spreading quickly. They bring great benefits, but also real and growing risks. Suleyman is wise enough to know that there’s no simple three-point plan for managing these risks, and brave enough to tell us so. This book is honest, passionate, and unafraid to confront what is clearly one of the great challenges our species will face this century. Thanks to Suleyman we know what the situation is and what our options are. Now it’s up to us to act.
