Beside Chp 1. Cooties are Stronger than Spit - a lighthearted story of my youth and meeting my wife; Chp. 17 is my second favorite chapter. It is where I begin tying together the myriads of topics discussed in the book, and how they are being coalesced into the Fourth Industrial Revolution. I portray how the technological advances of our age are placing humanity on a crash course with our own demise in a manner that seems so very eschatological. So, what are your thoughts on the 4IR? Can we as a society navigate technologies like AGI and transhumanism without ending humanity as we know it?
