Does it matter if we are ceding power to AI? Especially if we have been there before.

Persuasive ... the ever-erudite host of the terrific Talking Politics podcast ... ranges far and wide, from hunter gatherers to Elon Musk, from the wisdom of juries to the (terrifying) implications of autonomous weapons systems - Tim Adams, Guardian

Runciman's erudition is formidable ... a wide-ranging history of the modern state and an exploration of how AI technology may change the world [from] one of our leading public intellectuals - Jason Cowley, Sunday Times

Compelling ... David Runciman makes salutary arguments [about] the most urgent problem we face - Blake Smith, Literary Review

Quirky, meditational, disturbing ... original thinking - Sherelle Jacobs, Telegraph

Praise for David Runciman: 'A clear and forceful writer - Financial Times

Runciman's flair for turning a pithy and pungent phrase is one of the things to admire about his writing ... That and [his] cogency, subtlety and style - Observer

Refreshingly free of received and rehearsed wisdoms, Runciman doesn't tiptoe around sacred cows and invites us to take part in that most adult way of thinking: to examine contradictory ideas in tandem and ponder what the dissonance amounts to - Australian
