Über AI: a book for all and none
What if AI could solve humanity’s greatest challenges, better than we ever could?
When Nietzsche wrote Thus Spoke Zarathustra, he declared, “God is dead.” Today, we face an equally stark reality: Democracy is dead. And with its decline, it’s time to embrace the bold future that only artificial intelligence can deliver.
This provocative book, Über AI, makes the case for a revolutionary shift. If democracies are powerless to prevent climate disaster, skyrocketing debt, and energy crises, it’s clear that our political systems are failing us. History proves voters will trade democracy for empty promises. Governments worldwide are already leaning heavily on AI. Why resist the inevitable when we can guide it?
Joost van der Leij argues for a radical yet necessary transformation: the rise of the Über AI, an AI-led governance system capable of solving humanity’s toughest problems.
But this leap into the future comes with its risks. Drawing on Nietzsche’s concept of the Übermensch, the author warns that AI could treat humans as humans have treated animals, restricting freedoms and altering our way of life. Yet, van der Leij offers hope: higher humans can transcend these challenges.
In Über AI, you’ll discover:
- How Nietzsche’s four training programs for higher humans prepare us to thrive under AI governance.
- Insights into how AI will reshape politics, policy-making, and our daily lives.
- The path forward for those ready to overcome human limitations and lead this transformative era.
This is a book for thinkers, visionaries, and anyone bold enough to consider a future where AI doesn’t just assist humanity, it governs it.
Will you resist the change, or will you rise to meet the Über AI? Read this book and decide.
