Very good read. I’m a software engineer so have some background knowledge of the subject but the author Max Tegmark does a very good job of introducing and explaining the key concepts. Also has plenty of ethical and philosophical ideas to wrap your head around.

A good book to start the year with I think as it ends on quite an empowering and optimistic note.

Do you want to be someone who interrupts all their conversations by checking their smartphone, or someone who feels empowered by using technology in a planned and deliberate way? Do you want to own your technology or do you want your technology to own you? What do you want it to mean to be human in the age of AI? Please discuss all this with those around you—it’s not only an important conversation, but a fascinating one.
