The Coming Wave (Paperback) By Mustafa Suleyman & Michael Bhaskar

The Coming Wave: AI, Power, and Our Future (Paperback, April 1 2025) by AI pioneer Mustafa Suleyman and co-author Michael Bhaskar is a compelling New York Times bestseller that examines how rapidly evolving technologies—AI, quantum computing, engineered pathogens, and autonomous weapons—could reshape civilization. Drawing on Suleyman’s leadership at DeepMind and current role at Microsoft AI, the book articulates the urgent “containment problem”: maintaining control over these powerful forces. Featuring insights from scientific research, real-world case studies, and global thought leaders, it warns of existential risks and oppressive surveillance—but also outlines paths toward prosperity and ethical governance. A crucial read for technologists, policymakers, and anyone eager to understand the next technological frontier.
