Leviathan Rewritten: Hobbesian Philosophy in the Age of Intelligent Machines

by Nemo Aurelius

Leviathan Rewritten is a bold, modern exploration of Thomas Hobbes, political philosophy, and the ethics of artificial intelligence. It examines how AI governance, superintelligence, and algorithmic power echo the fears and insights of Hobbes’s Leviathan. This book dives into the state of nature, social contract theory, and the rise of digital sovereigns shaped by machine learning, neural networks, and autonomous systems.



Readers interested in AI safety, alignment, philosophy of technology, political theory, and future governance will find a clear, gripping argument about the emergence of a new kind of the technological Leviathan. The book traces the shift from human political power to system-level intelligence, uncovering how algorithmic control, surveillance infrastructure, and digital ecosystems create a new form of sovereignty.



Perfect for fans of Yuval Noah Harari, Nick Bostrom, Hobbesian philosophy, and futurism, this book blends history, political analysis, and cutting-edge AI research into a compelling narrative about the next stage of human order and disorder.
