The Reverse Centaur's Guide to Life After AIHow to Think About Artificial Intelligence—Before It's Too Late
Cory Doctorow's short, sharp polemic argues that AI's trillion-dollar valuations depend on mass job losses actually happening, and that the hype cycle exists to make that outcome feel inevitable. Ideal for readers who want a fast, argument-driven counter to the standard AI-boosterism.
From the review
This is polemic dressed as explainer, and the disguise mostly works. Doctorow isn't interested in whether large language models are impressive parlor tricks or genuine breakthroughs; he's interested in who cashes the check when a company tells investors its product will replace a warehouse floor or a legal department. That's the real subject of this book, and once you see it, the AI debate looks different.
