It took 7 months to finish this incredibly dense book but it was definitely worth it.

This book gives a fascinating look at what superintelligence could be and could mean for the future while also giving advice on how to limit the risks it could pose. There are many great ideas, but at times the book gets somewhat technical or sometimes gets repetitive. If you're interesting in superintelligence and AI, it is worth a read.

Excellent book, full of loads of great ideas and many thought provoking possible futures. However, because it is so dense with information, it is a tough read and took me over two years on and off to finish.

Maybe I should have noticed there is a glossary earlier.
