The Coming Wave
Technology, Power, and the Twenty-first Century's Greatest Dilemma
Book • 2023
The Coming Wave delves into the impending technological revolution driven by AI and synthetic biology, arguing that this wave will have a more dramatic impact on humanity than any previous technological advancement.
Suleyman discusses how these technologies will create immense prosperity but also threaten the nation-state and global order.
He examines historical technological waves and their societal implications, proposing the 'containment problem' as the essential challenge of our age.
The book explores the potential for catastrophic harms, overbearing surveillance, and the need to forge a path between catastrophe and dystopia.
Suleyman offers 10 steps to contain the rapid expansion of these technologies, though he acknowledges the complexity and potential failure of such containment efforts[1][3][5].
