The Unseen Battle: How AI Is Escaping Our Grip and Rewriting Reality
— Neal Stephenson
Stephenson is hardly rejecting new technology. He is making a choice about where it helps, and where he wants to do the thinking himself.
My full conversation with Neal Stephenson includes a reading from D: Heavy Water and more on science fiction, engineering, and the stories we tell about our future.
He’s now working on the third and likely final Bomb Light book. Expect it in two to three years.
