What does it mean to be human?
At a time when AI is rapidly changing the way we live, work, and think, this may be the biggest question we face.
In The Last Book Written by a Human, tech entrepreneur and investor Jeff Burningham wrestles with the fundamental questions of existence, the future role of artificial intelligence in society, and the increasingly complex union between humanity and its creations.
With raw honesty, Burningham shares his personal story from Mormon missionary to successful entrepreneur to his gubernatorial run and beyond, offering reflections on our otherworldly potential and uncertain future in the age of AI. His call to action is clear: As machines become smarter, we must become wiser.

* Why the development of AI must be guided by love, wisdom, and compassion.
* How to navigate relationships in the future, ensuring we maintain genuine human connection alongside increasingly synthetic ones.
* The importance of reforming institutions—religious, governmental, and business—to support human flourishing.
* The cosmic necessity of mastering your life as a human being, rather than a human doing.
This book is a wake-up call for our species to evolve beyond our unconscious patterns, false beliefs, and outdated systems in order to thrive in the age of AI.
