Everything is about to change.              "Soon you will live surrounded by AIs. They will organize 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 center of this       revolution. The coming decade, he argues, will be defined by       this wave of powerful, fast-proliferating new technologies.              "In The Coming Wave, Suleyman shows how these forces will       create immense prosperity but also threaten the nation-state,       the foundation of global order.
