Garrison Lovely's 'Obsolete' hailed as the best primer on the AI replacement race
zetalyrae · x · 2026-10-20
zetalyrae recommends Garrison Lovely's new book Obsolete: The AI Industry's Trillion-Dollar Race to Replace Us — and How to Stop It, calling it 'probably the best and most up-to-date way for normal people to understand the current state of the AI crisis.'
The cover carries a blurb from Luke Kemp: 'The best book I've read on AI. It's supremely timely, it takes no prisoners, and Sam Altman would hate it.'
