Humanity's fate rests on the first move in the looming AI arms race. Philosopher Nick Bostrom peers into a future where superintelligent machines could make us obsolete—or save us. Can we engineer an "intelligence explosion" that's survivable? Bostrom maps the treacherous landscape, from "oracles" and "genies" to "mind crime" and "differential development." The fate of humanity hangs in the balance as we race to control the awesome power of artificial intelligence.
