Artificial intelligence is woven into the fabric of our everyday lives. From recommendation engines to facial recognition, from automated hiring to chatbots, we are navigating a world transformed by intelligent machines. What does this mean for who we are, how we work, and what we believe in?
Everything Everywhere All At Once is a vivid, intelligent, and entertaining exploration of the technologies reshaping our world. Originally published in German to wide acclaim, this European bestseller blends cutting-edge research, global reportage, and sharp cultural insight to guide readers through the disorienting landscape of AI-from San Francisco to Singapore, from Davos to Shanghai.
Miriam Meckel and Léa Steinacker, two leading scientists and thinkers at the intersection of technology and society, challenge the myths surrounding artificial intelligence. They uncover its hidden power structures, uncanny hallucinations, and seductive promises of productivity. With wit and clarity, they show how AI reflects and amplifies our deepest values, and why we must engage with it now to shape a future worth living.
Whether you're an expert, a skeptic, or simply curious, this book is your entry point into the most important conversation of our time.
Timely, critical, and deeply human, Everything Everywhere All At Once invites us to make sense of a world in transformation.
