Power, Work, and the Future of Humanity
By Roger S Smith
Artificial intelligence is no longer science fiction. It is transforming how we work, how we think, how governments operate, and what it means to be human. But beneath the headlines and hype lies a deeper story — one about power, control, identity, and the future of civilization itself.
In The AI Age, Roger S Smith takes readers on a gripping exploration of the technological revolution reshaping our world. From the rise of intelligent machines and the future of work to global AI competition, digital surveillance, and the possibility of superintelligent systems, this book explains the forces driving humanity toward an uncertain but extraordinary future.
Written in clear, compelling language, The AI Age reveals how automation may redefine employment, how algorithms shape beliefs and behavior, how governments and corporations compete for technological dominance, and how human identity itself may evolve as the boundary between people and machines begins to disappear.
This is not just a book about technology — it is a guide to understanding the future of society, freedom, and human existence.
Inside this groundbreaking book, you’ll discover:
- How artificial intelligence actually works — and why it is different from every past technology
- Which jobs will disappear, which will survive, and what “work” will mean in the future
- The global race for AI power between governments, corporations, and nations
- How algorithms shape behavior, influence beliefs, and impact democracy
- The rise of human enhancement, brain–computer interfaces, and augmented intelligence
- The possibility of superintelligence and conscious machines
- The best and worst futures facing humanity — and the choices that will decide them
Memorable ideas from the book:
• “The future is not shaped by technology alone, but by the values that guide its creation.”
• “Artificial intelligence is not just changing what humans do — it is changing what it means to be human.”
• “The greatest risk of intelligent machines is not their power, but how that power is controlled.”
• “Humanity stands at a turning point where its creations may redefine intelligence itself.”
• “The ultimate question is not what machines will become, but what humanity will choose to become alongside them.”
Urgent, thought-provoking, and deeply insightful, The AI Age challenges readers to confront the defining question of our time: Who will control the future — and what kind of world will we create?
If you want to understand the forces reshaping civilization and prepare for the world ahead, this book is essential reading.

Store description
We first started out as “The Paperback Exchange,” a chain of physical bookstores where we would part exchange your beloved books for new stories to transport you to faraway places. However, as shopping started to evolve to online shops and marketplaces, we bid our stores goodbye to become “PBShop.” This transition has only allowed us to blossom as we now ship thousands of titles to book lovers across the globe. We pride ourselves in being a community of local book lovers which allows our passion and devotion to shine in everything we do. In 2020 we not only celebrated our 20th birthday but our 1st birthday as being completely employee owned after becoming an E.O.T in September 2019. We are proud to be different and embrace standing apart on a book mountain by working from a virtual inventory which allows us to provide thousands of books that may be difficult to get for your bookshelf or your studies. Working with a number of different suppliers allows us to explore other avenues such as puzzles, sheet music and even stationery so we really do have something for everyone. Life is about being versatile in all realms of existence. If this is your first visit or you are a returning customer, we would like to welcome you to the PBShop family, for there is no friend as loyal as a book. We are a company who put our customers at the centre of everything we do as we understand the importance of reading because once you learn to read, you will forever be free. There are a whole lot of things in this world of ours that we are yet to explore, which is why we will forever inspire curious minds.…
