  • Reviews: "A gripping wake up call . . . A persuasively argued tour-de-force." --Nouriel Roubini, economist and bestselling author of Megathreats "An extraordinary and necessary book . . . The wave is about to hit and this is the forecast." --Alain de Botton, author and philosopher "Nobody has been closer to the unfolding AI revolution than Mustafa Suleyman. . . . An utterly essential guide to this unique moment in human history." --Eric Schmidt, former CEO, Google, and author of The Age of AI "Read this essential book to understand the pace and scale of these technologies--how they will proliferate across our society and their potential to challenge the fabric of the institutions that organize our world." --Ian Bremmer, founder, Eurasia Group and bestselling author of The Power of Crisis "A much-needed dose of specificity, realism, and clarity." --Martha Minow, professor, Harvard Law School "Incredibly compelling." --Bruce Schneier, security technologist and bestselling author of A Hacker's Mind, "This important book is a vivid wake-up call . . . rich with interesting facts, arresting arguments, and compelling observations; it is essential reading." --Daniel Kahneman, Nobel Prize winner and bestselling author of Thinking Fast and Slow "An erudite, clear-eyed guide to both the history of radical technological change and to the deep political challenges that lay ahead." --Anne Applebaum, Pulitzer-Prize winning historian "Deeply researched and highly relevant." --Al Gore, former Vice President of the United States "A persuasively argued tour-de-force." --Nouriel Roubini, economist and bestselling author of Megathreats "An extraordinary and necessary book." --Alain de Botton, author and philosopher "Nobody has been closer to the unfolding AI revolution than Mustafa Suleyman." --Eric Schmidt, former CEO, Google, and author of The Age of AI "Read this essential book to understand the pace and scale of these technologies." --Ian Bremmer, founder, Eurasia Group and bestselling author of The Power of Crisis "A much-needed dose of specificity, realism, and clarity." --Martha Minow, professor, Harvard Law School "Incredibly compelling." --Bruce Schneier, security technologist and bestselling author of A Hacker's Mind "Thought-provoking, urgent and written in powerful, highly accessible prose." --Erik Brynjolfsson, Director of the Stanford Digital Economy Lab "Deeply rewarding and consistently astonishing." --Stephen Fry, actor, broadcaster and bestselling author " The Coming Wave is a realistic, deeply informed, and highly accessible map of the unprecedented governance and national security challenges posed by artificial intelligence and synthetic biology. Mustafa Suleyman's remarkable and in some senses frightening book shows what must be done to contain these seemingly uncontainable technologies." --Jack Goldsmith, Learned Hand Professor of Law, Harvard University "Brilliant and inviting, complex and clear, urgent and calm, The Coming Wave guides us all to understand and confront what may be the most crucial question of our century: How can we ensure that the breathtaking, fast-paced technological revolutions ahead--AI, synthetic biology, and more--create the world we want? It's not going to be easy, but Suleyman lays a strong foundation. Everyone who cares about the future should read this book." --Eric Lander, founding director, Broad Institute of MIT and Harvard, and former Science Advisor to the President "A strikingly lucid and refreshingly balanced account of our current technological predicament, The Coming Wave articulates the defining challenge of our era. Blending pragmatism with humility, it reminds us that there are no stark binaries or simple answers: Technology has gifted us with exponential improvements in well-being, but it's accelerating faster than institutions can adapt. Advances in AI and synthetic biology have unlocked capabilities undreamed of by science fiction, and the resulting proliferation of power threatens everything we've built. To stay afloat, we must steer between the Scylla of accessible catastrophe and the Charybdis of omnipresent surveillance. With every page turned, our odds improve." --Kevin Esvelt, biologist and associate professor, MIT Media Lab, "A heartfelt and candid exploration of what the future may hold for us . . . Eloquently articulated. Reading [ The Coming Wave ], what came to mind was Gramsci's famous adage that what we need is 'pessimism of the intellect, optimism of the will.' To his great credit, [Mustafa] Suleyman has both." --The Guardian "Dazzling . . . You have by now read a great deal of both hype and doom-mongering on the subject [of AI]. But Suleyman's is the book you cannot afford not to read. . . . Brilliant." -- Niall Ferguson, Bloomberg "Brilliant . . . confronts what may be the most crucial question of our century: How can we ensure that the breathtaking, fast-paced technological revolutions ahead create the world we want?" --Eric Lander, founding director, Broad Institute of MIT and Harvard "An erudite, clear-eyed guide both to the history of radical technological change and to the deep political challenges that lie ahead." --Anne Applebaum, Pulitzer Prize-winning historian "Extraordinary . . . utterly unmissable." --Eric Schmidt, former CEO, Google "Calm, pragmatic, and deeply ethical . . . enthralling reading." --Angela Kane, former UN under-secretary-general "Sharp, compassionate, and uncompromising." --Qi Lu, former COO, Baidu; former EVP, Microsoft Bing "Truly remarkable, ambitious, and impossible to ignore . . . a persuasively argued tour de force." --Nouriel Roubini, professor emeritus, New York University "A practical and optimistic road map." --Stuart Russell, professor of computer science, University of California, Berkeley "A panoramic survey and a clarion call to action . . . Everyone should read it." --Fei-Fei Li, co-director, Stanford's Institute for Human-Centered AI "A brave wake-up call . . . indispensable reading." --Tristan Harris, co-founder, Center for Humane Technology "An extraordinary and necessary book . . . One leaves energized and thrilled to be alive right now." --Alain de Botton, philosopher and bestselling author "Deeply researched and highly relevant." --Al Gore, former Vice President of the United States "Read this essential book to understand the pace and scale of these technologies." --Ian Bremmer, founder, Eurasia Group and bestselling author of The Power of Crisis "A much-needed dose of specificity, realism, and clarity." --Martha Minow, professor, Harvard Law School "Incredibly compelling." --Bruce Schneier, security technologist and bestselling author of A Hacker's Mind "Thought-provoking, urgent and written in powerful, highly accessible prose." --Erik Brynjolfsson, Director of the Stanford Digital Economy Lab "Deeply rewarding and consistently astonishing." --Stephen Fry, actor, broadcaster and bestselling author "Realistic, deeply informed, and highly accessible." --Jack Goldsmith, Learned Hand Professor of Law, Harvard University "A strikingly lucid and refreshingly balanced account of our current technological predicament." --Kevin Esvelt, biologist and associate professor, MIT Media Lab " The Coming Wave is a masterpiece and a must-read for every leader grappling with today's reality." --Ehud Barak, former Prime Minister, Israel "This book is a masterclass for policymakers on the great technological challenges already upon us and what they mean for geopolitics." --Kevin Rudd, former Prime Minister, Australia, "A heartfelt and candid exploration of what the future may hold for us . . .
