We Are As Gods

A Survival Guide for the Age of Abundance

De: Peter H. Diamandis, Steven Kotler

Narrado por: Zac Aleman

In 1968, Stewart Brand declared: 'We are as gods - and we might as well get good at it.' Half a century later, that prophecy has come true.

We can rewrite genes, edit embryos, build artificial minds, extend life, and terraform worlds. The old miracles - omniscience, omnipresence, even resurrection - are becoming standard operating procedure. But the real question isn't whether humanity can play god. It's whether we can do it wisely.

In this book, the bestselling authors of Abundance and Bold return with a sweeping exploration of our species' next great transformation. Blending hard science with vivid storytelling, Peter Diamandis and Steven Kotler chart humanity's ascent from scarcity to superabundance - and the psychological, ethical, and existential challenges that come with it.

Across breakthroughs in AI, robotics, genetics, longevity, and consciousness research, they reveal a paradox at the heart of progress: as our external power expands, our inner resilience must evolve to match. Abundance without meaning leads to collapse. Intelligence without wisdom leads to extinction. To thrive in a world of everything, everywhere, all the time, we must learn to wield our godlike powers with humility, creativity, and flow.

Equal parts warning and invitation, We Are As Gods is a map for flourishing in the exponential century. Because the future won't be built by those who fear what's coming, but by those who know how to turn chaos into creation.

Humanoid perspective on AI

Powerful insights into human—AI dynamic leading into integration. With excellent recommendations for retaining our humanity in the process.

A bible for the future of humanity!

This review is not written with the help of AI, believe me it was tempting. It’s too easy now to ask chat just to write me a review, because I don’t feel like thinking.

This book changed my thinking! In a world of overwhelming information about AI and our future, this book brought so much clarity and positivity with regard to the opportunities we now have at our finger tips. This decade will go down as the single most important period of history that humanity has ever known. And the big question is… what are you going to do about it?

Thank you Peter, for putting this book together! I am truly grateful for your cause. Abundance is already here, not in the sense that governs most people’s thoughts in terms of monetary value. Abundance is already in our minds and we just have to wake up and realise what we have and the opportunities that lay before us.

Okay that last line sounded like AI ;-)

Awesome stuff man, can’t wait to get cracking! Cant wait for what the future holds!
