Alive

Your life is about to change beyond recognition. But the threat isn’t the machine. It’s us.

From Mo Gawdat, former Chief Business Officer at Google [X] and international bestselling author of Solve for Happy and Scary Smart, comes an urgent wake-up call and an essential survival guide for humanity’s next chapter.

For years, we’ve been told that artificial intelligence is an existential threat looming on the horizon. But Mo Gawdat offers an eye-opening reframe: AI is an infant, mirroring the exact values of the world raising it.

Teach it to serve greed and power, and we raise a supervillain. Nurture it with empathy, ethics, and compassion, and it becomes humanity’s greatest ally.

Blending insider technical expertise with grounded emotional wisdom, Alive cuts through the fear-mongering and the Silicon Valley hype to reveal what is truly at stake. Mo exposes the hidden forces shaping the machine and arms you with the tools needed to survive the turbulent transition ahead.

The rise of superintelligence is inevitable. A dystopian future is not.

Our destiny won't be decided by algorithms, it is being raised right now by every single one of us.
