I finished listening to Life 3.0: Being Human in the Age of Artificial Intelligence (Unabridged) by Max Tegmark, narrated by Rob Shapiro on my Audible app. Try Audible and get it free: https://www.audible.com/pd?asin=B0742K1G4Q&source_code=AFAORWS04241590G4
Max Tegmark's Life 3.0 is probably the most important book I've read since I read Ray Kurzweil's Age of the Spiritual Machines over a decade ago. Having recently read Kurzweil's The Singularity is Near, Yuval Noah Hariri's Homo Deus, Sidhartha Mukergee's The Gene, among a fairly extensive list of books on Audible converging on developments in AI, Biology, Neuroscience, biographies of scientists and engineers, Life 3.0 offers a way forward through a confusing thicket of possibilities. The questions the author raises in Life 3.0 are reminiscent of Sir Francis Bacon's admonition at the dawn of science that science be used for the purposes of life.
