Ethics First in All Scientific and Technological Progress
Your Lot and Parcel
His mission: to warn the next generation about the dangers of unchecked science and technology. Through novels such as one hundred Years to Extinction and its sequel, 12 Years to AI Singularity, he sounds the alarm on the potential tyranny of technology. Astrophysicist Stephen Hawking’s prediction of human extinction by 2117 may prove accurate, as the rapid advance of science and technology has outpaced society’s ability to manage them. Threats include fossil fuels, nuclear weapons, uncontrolled artificial intelligence, misused genetic engineering, disinformation on social media, and plastic pollution. His goal is to raise awareness and urgency in confronting these technological risks. By making complex issues accessible through storytelling, he aims to unite humanity as the EARTHLING TRIBE and inspire collective action to MAKE EARTH GREAT AGAIN.
