Book Description
"For twenty-eight years, Pamela Paul has been keeping a diary that records the books she reads, rather than the life she leads. Or does it? Over time, it's become clear that this Book of Books, or Bob, as she calls him, tells a much bigger story. For Paul, as for many readers, books reflect her inner life--her fantasies and hopes, her dreams and ideas. And her life, in turn, influences which books she chooses, whether for solace or escape, diversion or self-reflection, information or entertainment. My Life with Bob isn't about what's in those books; it's about the relationship between books and readers"--

Book Description
”Whytopia - a Choice of Destiny” gradually paints a shade of hopefulness for the reader, emphasizing that we indeed possess the power to choose the future we want. The future is by no means predetermined and certainly not written in stone. The future doesn’t have to become a dystopian existence, nor does it have to be a utopian existence reserved for only a privileged few.

However, this can only be achieved if we make the right decisions. We can harness upcoming AI capabilities to develop new technologies that can address the environmental catastrophes our current technology has caused, fi nd cures for dreadful incurable diseases, eradicate poverty globally, and eliminate all heavy and monotonous labor that wears down people. But the price for all this potential good, if mishandled, may unfortunately be that we forever lose control over our future. If we act unwisely and hastily, allowing technology to fall into the wrong hands when it becomes a threat, it could quickly turn out very badly for most, if not all of us.
