The Book Recall
Each week I distill the content from a different book, reinterpreting its ideas and themes to more universal patterns found in science, complexity and life.

The Book Recall
The Coming Wave by Mustafa Suleyman
In this episode I discuss Mustafa Suleyman’s book The Coming Wave, and explore why rapid diffusion, opaque decision-making, and runaway technological acceleration pose serious risks to public trust and global stability. I break down the core dynamics of containment, including Goodhart’s law, gatekeeping, fat-tailed risks, feedback lag, irreversibility, and the alignment tax. I then relate these dynamics to Suleyman’s proposed ten-point plan for navigating this "narrow path" of AI containment.
