Since I was a little boy, I’ve been passionate about technology and its potential to help people. After 25 years working in high tech, digital transformation, and artificial intelligence with a career spanning Intel, Google DeepMind, and a few successful startups I co-founded, I’ve pivoted to helping people, particularly leaders, understand how AI will transform business, education, and society, and how they can use AI to create new value and solve problems for people. AI is about to change everything about everything, and these books will help readers understand what’s coming and prepare themselves for humanity’s journey into an age of abundant intelligence.

The Innovation Ultimatum: How Six Strategic Technologies Will Reshape Every Business in the 2020s
When Peter’s book was released the same month as mine, I was initially concerned it would be duplicative. As I eagerly read his book, I realized it was a companion piece to mine. We discuss many of the same topics, and examples in my book help to illustrate concepts in his and vice versa.
From the New York Times bestselling authors of Abundance and Bold comes a practical playbook for technological convergence in our modern era.
In their book Abundance, bestselling authors and futurists Peter Diamandis and Steven Kotler tackled grand global challenges, such as poverty, hunger, and energy. Then, in Bold, they chronicled the use of exponential technologies that allowed the emergence of powerful new entrepreneurs. Now the bestselling authors are back with The Future Is Faster Than You Think, a blueprint for how our world will change in response to the next ten years of rapid technological disruption.
This was a brave and interesting project that yielded a fascinating book. Reed Hoffman, founder of LinkedIn and a storied tech investor, co-wrote the book with GPT-4.
In doing so, he perfectly illustrates the book’s central premise: AI will amplify human capabilities. As a bonus, his book is now available for free online.
THE WALL STREET JOURNAL BESTSELLERImpromptu: Amplifying Our Humanity Through AI, written by Reid Hoffman with GPT-4, takes readers on a travelog of the future – exploring how AI, and especially Large Language Models like GPT-4, can elevate humanity across key areas like education, business, and creativity.But, it's not just a book, it's a conversation. In a first, Hoffman doesn’t just write about GPT-4; he interacts and writes with GPT-4, letting readers see the technology’s capabilities — its strengths and limitations alike. Using GPT-4 as his “author’s co-pilot,” Hoffman paints an intriguing, challenging, and often entertaining picture of what’s possible: where…
In This Together explores how we can harness our social networks to make a real impact fighting the climate crisis. Against notions of the lone environmental crusader, Marianne E. Krasny shows us the power of "network climate action"—the idea that our own ordinary acts can influence and inspire those close…

Taking us to the heart of the latest thinking about AI, Max Tegmark, the MIT professor whose work has helped mainstream research on how to keep AI beneficial, separates myths from reality, utopias from dystopias, to…
While Mustafa and I didn’t work together at DeepMind, I believe Suleyman’s book has become a seminal read for anyone interested in the future of AI. Suleyman highlights the central dilemma of whether to embrace AI for all its potential benefits or to fight it tooth and nail to keep humanity safe.

Stuart Russell is one of the best communicators of our time, and this collaboration with Peter Norvig is the bible of AI. In its fourth edition, this book covers everything you need to know about classic AI, also known as predictive or discriminative AI.
If you want to use AI to optimize business processes, inventory levels, pricing, risk profiles, segment markets, build recommendation engines, or do any of the hard work of running a business, this is the book for you. Perhaps the fifth edition will include generative AI, but this book is still great without that.
This book was written to help business leaders understand how technology will reshape their businesses in the 2020s. It’s a natural extension of my role as a global keynote speaker and AI futurist—helping leaders to understand new technology and figure out what to do next. Using many examples and easy-to-understand terms, it explores six technologies (AI, blockchain, the Internet of Things, robotics, next-generation networks, and virtual, augmented, and mixed reality) and the opportunities they will present to finance, healthcare, retail, manufacturing, construction, real estate, and other industries.
I wanted to write a how-to guide for leaders, so I wrote the book with a ten-year time horizon. Even though it was released in 2020, it's still relevant today. I am also writing a follow-up book.
This sixteenth book in the Crypto Hipster Mysticals series, entitled Furry Psychedelic Crypto Tokens offers some contemplations on what could be possible from a social impact perspective on the adoption of blockchain technology. This book is drawn from four Crypto Hipster Mysticals podcasts.
