Futureproof by Kevin Roose Review
Futureproof: 9 Rules for Surviving in the Age of AI is an interesting book because of its goal. Kevin Roose, the author of Futureproof, attempts to do what few authors on the subject have done before- attempt to give us tips on how to survive in the coming age of AI instead of just informing us of its arrival and leaving us shaking in our boots. Roose’s book is interesting because of its two-part setup. Part One, titled ‘The Machines’ is meant to get readers up to speed on the topic of AI and Automation as well as provide a much-needed background into the development of technology. Part Two, aptly titled ‘The Rules’, is divided into nine parts which each follow a different rule that readers should follow if they don’t want to see themselves among the millions of people who will, and already have been displaced, by AI and Automation. Roose’s book functions similarly to a ‘For Dummies’ book, but does it actually have anything of value to say?
