This is without a doubt my current favorite book of 2025. It will be in my top 5 for the year. This is a nonfiction but it is written like a sci-fi with elements of fantasy! It is DENSE! If you to have an obsession with our planets waters like I do I highly recommend reading this!

This is an informative guide to the current situation happening in AI. It does contain some biases towards the new systems. Although this was informative the lack of acknowledgement of some of the AI system failures was disappointing to me. For example it is a known fact that over the last year or so(2024) that the use of AI in resume development has greatly affected people’s ability to get work. Overall if you are looking for sound information on how AI is likely to operate over the next few years. 3.5 stars.

There was nothing outrageously wrong with this story. Unfortunately I wasn’t as invested as I had hoped I would be.
