AI commentator Garrison Lovely announces Obsolete: The AI Industry's Trillion-Dollar Race to Replace Us—and How to Stop It, out Sept 29 from OR Books & Nation Books. The book aims to cut through hype binaries (bubble vs last invention, present harm vs existential risk) and map the frontier-AI risk debate, drawing praise from Publishers Weekly, Vox and Luke Kemp. Lovely is donating his royalty share to an organization planning a national AI walkout on Oct 20.
