New York Times Silicon Valley beat reporter Cade Metz brings readers into the rooms where an extraordinarily powerful new artificial intelligence has been built into our biggest companies, our social discourse, and our daily lives, with few of us even noticing.

What The Reviewers Say

Craig S. Smith,
The Washington Post
Books on artificial intelligence fall into two broad categories: the explanatory and the exclamatory.
James Fallows,
The New York Times Book Review
... part of a rapidly growing literature attempting to make sense of the A.I. hurricane we are living through. These are very different kinds of books — Cade Metz’s is mainly reportorial, about how we got here.
John Thornhill,
Financial Times (UK)
... colourful and readable.
Laura Chanoux,
Booklist
With well-crafted storytelling and extensive research, Metz captures the thrill and promise of technological innovation..
