Neuromancer is a 1984 science fiction novel by William Gibson. Set in a near-future dystopia, the narrative follows Case, a computer hacker enlisted into a crew by a powerful artificial intelligence and a traumatised former soldier to complete a high-stakes heist. It was Gibson's debut novel and, after its success, served as the first entry in the Sprawl trilogy, followed by Count Zero (1986) and Mona Lisa Overdrive (1988).

The Brain Eating Machines
Thousands of AI-written, edited or ‘polished’ books are being sold – an eerie echo of Orwell’s ‘novel-writing machines’
In ‘1984,’ George Orwell envisaged a world in which books were a mass-produced commodity no different from ‘jam and bootlaces.’

Superintelligence: Paths, Dangers, Strategies
Superintelligence: Paths, Dangers, Strategies is a 2014 book by the philosopher Nick Bostrom. It explores how superintelligence could be created and what its features and motivations might be. It argues that superintelligence, if created, would be difficult to control, and that it could take over the world in order to accomplish its goals. The book also presents strategies to help make superintelligences whose goals benefit humanity. It was particularly influential for raising concerns about existential risk from artificial intelligence.

Davies on The Unaccountability Machine
Dan Davies' The Unaccountability Machine is a book that leaves me a bit confused about how I feel about it. On the one hand, it covers topics I enjoy reading about and for which I have strong opinions—the industrialization of decision-making—and does so with references to cybernetics (where the author has clearly dug deeper than I have). On the other hand, it does the "airport book" kind of thing where the last chapters propose solutions to the identified problems that are plainly inadequate.
