The Last Human Problem: Finding Purpose When AI Runs The World

2026

Synopsis

You are going to lose your job.

Something smarter, faster, and cheaper is coming for your work, and it doesn't care how good you are. It will do it better. And when it does, there won't be a new job waiting for you on the other side. That one will be gone too.

This book is not about whether you'll lose your job. You will. It's not about how to find a new one. You won't. And it's not just about the money - that's not the hard part. This book is about what happens to a person, and a species, when work disappears. About how to build a life, and a world, worth waking up for.

Inside, you'll find:

Why the three phases of AI have already begun.

Why AI's coming utopia is the real problem.

The four ingredients of purpose in a world without work.

What our civilization has to become next.

What to start doing this week.

The biggest threat AI poses isn't a dystopia - it's the paradise it's about to create.
A world with no poverty, no disease, no war... and no reason to exist.
