Summary
Penguin Audio presents Life 3.0 by Max Tegmark, read by Rob Shapiro.
We stand at the beginning of a new era. What was once science fiction is fast becoming reality, as AI transforms war, crime, justice, jobs and society - and even our very sense of what it means to be human. More than any other technology, AI has the potential to revolutionise our collective future - and there's nobody better situated to explore that future than Max Tegmark, an MIT professor and cofounder of the Future of Life Institute, whose work has helped mainstream research on how to keep AI beneficial.
In this deeply researched and vitally important new book, Tegmark takes us to the heart of thinking about AI and the human condition, bringing us face to face with the essential questions of our time. What sort of future do we want? Life 3.0 gives us the tools to join what may be the most important conversation of our time.

fascinating, opinion altering, insightful
I absolutely love this book. subject matter and presentation is second to none.
the ideas presented challenged my previous opinions and altered them. the potential swift rise of AI was something I had not considered before. I loved the ant hill analogy and have already used it in discussion.
AI will change the world, will change what it means to be human and will usher in an era the likes of which is ours to shape. we don't have much time to shape it, but with consensus coming around the themes in this book, I am hopeful and positive for its arrival.
I for one welcome our new machine overlords :@)

Tech heads need this future perspective 👍
Forget Arnie, this is a serious considered approach to how we make sure our values and ethics keep ahead of creativity, ensuring we are in the driving seat as general AI takes us into the next phase. 3.0.

Brilliantly articulate and thought provoking
One of the best books on AI I've read. The author makes sound, balanced and logical arguments for the future of AI and our human role in it. His metaphors, examples and lengthy but easy to read explanations make it easier to understand the AI debate and he forms some clear definitions early on to make sure the context is always clear. Definitely worth a reread though.

Just brilliant
I absolutely love how concise, accurate and generally well written this book is. Such a treat how not just techno utopian or distopian views are presented but many possible views, expressed in the best possible way. I'm very thankful that people like Max Tegmark exist and help us navigate the most fundamental questions about what makes us human and how we could use thechnology to thrive while steering clear as much as possible from the many potential pitfalls and existential disasters. I didn't know about Max Tegmark until I heard him on the Lex Fridman podcast and he quickly became one of my all time favorite guests, in particular after buying this book, which I have not even finished yet but already appreciate so much. I even spammed my family members to buy this book as well, to help evolve our discussions on the topics dealt with in this book. I just can't recommend this enough.

thought provoking
really insightful view of the future of humanity and the impact technology will have. the middle few chapters are a bit heavy at times but that's the only negative

Must Read! This will only become more relevant!
Well written, easy to follow with a lot of fascinating insights. Although it's a book on AI it's not just about AI but explores what it means to be human as well as what the latest theoretical understanding of consciousness is. It leaves the reader with a positive sense of optimism and excitement for the future.

Superb book. Worth listening to for sure!
One of the rare occasions where you listen to something that is so captivating but educational at the same time. As a software engineer was quite interested in the topic but didn't have time to think about all edge cases like Max did.
Narrator was great as well.
