Publisher Description
This is the only book you need to understand our new world – from the ultimate AI insider, the CEO of Microsoft AI and co-founder of the pioneering AI company DeepMind.
Soon you will live surrounded by AIs. In a world of quantum computers, robot assistants and abundant energy, they will organise your life, operate your business, and run government services.
None of us are prepared.
Mustafa Suleyman has been at the centre of this revolution. The next decade, he explains, will be defined by a wave of powerful, fast-proliferating new technologies. These will create immense prosperity but also present risks.
How do we ensure the flourishing of humankind? How do we maintain control over these technologies? And how do we find the narrow path to a successful future? In this groundbreaking book we learn how to think about the essential challenge of our age.
Be prepared. Read The Coming Wave.

Customer Reviews
Have an idea about what the future holds
I want everyone I know to read this but I know they probably won’t.
Absolutely incredible
Well written, balanced , thought provoking , intelligently constructed and ways up the prism and cons of AI, beautifully.
Hold on to your hats, we are about to be part of the biggest rollercoaster in human history that makes everything else seem utterly irrelevant.
Optimistic, with caveats
Well read, and incredibly provocative. The author’s optimism shines through, but there’s a thick atmosphere of tense uncertainty about what would happen in a world where AI is nurtured by all the wrong people.
