   "We are approaching a critical threshold in the history of our     
   species. 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. As our fragile governments   
   sleepwalk into disaster, we face an existential dilemma:   
   unprecedented harms on one side, the threat of overbearing   
   surveillance on the other.   
      
   "Can we forge a narrow path between catastrophe and dystopia?   
   Is it possible to contain the threat of AI?   
      
   "This groundbreaking book from the ultimate AI insider   
   establishes "the containment problem" - the task of maintaining   
   control over powerful technologies - as the essential challenge   
   of our age.
