The Coming Wave

This book by Mustafa Suleyman was genuinely recommended once in the episodes we index, on Joe Rogan. The people who vouched for it on air: Joe Rogan. It comes up in conversations about consciousness, psychedelics. Every quote below is verbatim, attributed, and linked to the exact second it was said. Sourced expert opinion, not medical advice.

Soon you will live surrounded by AIs. They will organise your life, operate your business, and run core government services. You will live in a world of DNA printers and quantum computers, engineered pathogens and autonomous weapons, robot assistants and abundant energy. None of us are prepared. As co-founder of the pioneering AI company DeepMind, part of Google, Mustafa Suleyman has been at the centre of this revolution. The coming decade, he argues, will be defined by this wave of powerful, fast-proliferating new technologies.

• “He wrote this book, The Coming Wave. He was one of the people who created Google's Deep Mind. The Coming Wave is just a wonderful breakdown of historic examples of new technology completely transforming humanity.”

  Why it counts as a recommendation: “just a wonderful breakdown”
