Nick Bostrom’s Deep Utopia explores the future of AI, existential risk, and the philosophical dilemmas of a world where intelligence surpasses human control - where humans may be left with nothing, or nothing meaningful, to do.
The book raises profound questions about extreme risk scenarios — ranging from catastrophe to utopia. How will we manage uncertainty, resilience, and ethical responsibility in a world shaped, driven, and perhaps full managed by AI? Can humanity navigate this transition while maintaining control, ensuring AI serves rather than undermines us?
Bostrom leaves us with an open question: If utopia arrives but it is not ours, will we still find it worth living in?
