ABOUT THE BOOK

Opportunities for bright futures enabled by bio, nano, and AI are now within our reach. But technological proliferation also brings risks that threaten the very existence of civilization. To help civilization navigate this abyss, this book addresses three questions:
1. How can we help civilization cooperate better?
2. How can we help civilization defend itself better?
3. How can we help civilization do both -- cooperation and defense -- in light of AI?
Explore strategies, tools, and technologies for enabling voluntary cooperation across a diversity of intelligences.

Book Reviews

Primavera De Filippi

"In light of the existential crisis about the future of humanity, this book focuses on how the combination of computer science, law, economics, cryptography and artificial intelligence can contribute to building a more cooperative society and unlocking more desirable futures."

Peter Norvig

"Rodney King asked "can we all get along?" and this book attempts to answer his question, explaining the current state of the world and a mechanism by which a diverse population of people with diverse goals can make the world a better place by voluntarily making small choices that improve things for some without harming others."

David Brin

"Gaming the Future raises important questions about how - and whether - it is possible to avoid future dystopias by leveraging the power of diverse and competing citizens to plan, to predict, and evade the pitfalls ahead."

Kate Sills

“As Wendell Berry has pointed out, academia has splintered into fragmented, one-eyed specialties; Gaming the Future does not make this same error. By integrating economics, law, cryptography, political science, blockchain technology, and artificial intelligence, Gaming the Future is a fascinating look at what we might be able to accomplish if human cooperation is designed for and allowed to flourish."

Juan Benet

“Reading Gaming the Future is essential! It is a masterpiece of modern philosophy, and its lessons are crucial for our civilization's survival and flourishing. Unlike most works of philosophy in history, Gaming the Future is firmly grounded in science and economics, it is a delightful and accessible read, and it paints a deeply inspiring vision for our future. This book should be a required read for everyone, especially those in government, economics, science, and positions of power."
