Genesis (Schmidt, Kissinger, and Mundie)
Why it’s on the list: Kissinger’s last book, written with Eric Schmidt and Craig Mundie — an attempt to think about machine intelligence in the terms a statesman would use: sovereignty, deterrence, and what a nation is for.
Where I saw it: Recommended by @8teAPi on X (July 6, 2025): “Eric is truly AGI pilled, as in AGI in next 18 months pilled … he managed to get him to write a final book laying out the paths for the AGI future, including geopolitical permutations.”
