On the twenty-eighth of February, two thousand and twenty-six, an artificial intelligence system helped designate a girls' elementary school in the southern Iranian town of Minab as a military target. One hundred and sixty-eight people died, most of them schoolchildren. The system was working as designed. That is the problem. This book argues that the danger of artificial intelligence has been catastrophically misdiagnosed.

Why do we remember what never happened? Why do we plan for futures that never arrive as planned? Why do we seek meaning where none exists and feel torn between what we think and what we feel? For centuries, these contradictions have been treated as flaws in human reasoning—bugs in the cognitive machinery that education and willpower should correct. But what if they are not bugs at all?
