Agentic World Order
Navigating Humanity's Next Great MigrationBy Alexander T Hooper
Length5h 49m
About this audiobook
Humanity stands at a precipice as artificial intelligence reshapes history at breakneck speed. Agentic World Order is a clear-eyed guide to this era of superintelligence, mapping how exponential technology compresses economic cycles, national power, and human purpose itself. Drawing on Alexander T. Hooper’s insider perspective as a technologist leading AI strategy, it blends history, strategy, and ethics to reveal the promise and peril ahead. Inside, you’ll explore AI’s accelerating trajectory, its impact on work, inequality, and geopolitics, the environmental burden of vast data centres, and the ethical dilemmas of bias, control, and “digital feudalism.” Hooper shows how regulation, foresight, and collective choice can steer intelligence — human or machine — toward abundance, creativity, and dignity. The future is not fixed; it will be shaped by the courage and clarity with which we act today.
