A BEST BOOK OF THE YEAR: The Wall Street Journal, The Washington Post, Financial Times
Long before the advent of ChatGPT, Kai-Fu Lee and Chen Qiufan understood the enormous potential of artificial intelligence to transform our daily lives. But even as the world wakes up to the power of AI, many of us still fail to grasp the big picture. Chatbots and large language models are only the beginning.
In this “inspired collaboration” (The Wall Street Journal), Lee and Chen join forces to imagine our world in 2041 and how it will be shaped by AI. In ten gripping, globe-spanning short stories and accompanying commentary, their book introduces readers to an array of eye-opening settings and characters grappling with the new abundance and potential harms of AI technologies like deep learning, mixed reality, robotics, artificial general intelligence, and autonomous weapons.

The various uses of artificial intelligence are depicted in the futuristic stories that comprise this unique audiobook. One standout performance is Emily Woo Zeller's wrenching narration of "Contactless Love," in which we see the impact of isolationism in a fear-driven future. In contrast, the app-tracking AI in "The Golden Elephant" doesn't sound very futuristic, but Soneela Nankani's warm and hopeful performance is a perfect fit for the story. Fajer Al-Kaisi's exceptional pacing brings out the emotional tension in "The Holy Driver," a compelling story about car-driving gamers who plug into the metaverse to save lives. This audiobook features some terrific performances that make AI an entertaining and educational phenomenon. E.M.U. © AudioFile 2021, Portland, Maine
