I thought this book had come out a decade ago - it's focused on AI, decentralized networks, computer vision, human in the loop, digital currencies, etc. and was about to praise it for being 10 years ahead of it's time.

It's *twenty* years ahead of it's time. Well done Daniel Suarez.

This has been a timely PSA.

His 2008 talk at the LongNow was even more timely: https://longnow.org/talks/02008-suarez/. He wasn't worried so much about a strong-AI singularity but about weak AI that is used by the rich and powerful to take away human agency.

Spot on. The truly rich and powerful surely see genuine AI as a competition nightmare.
