The Coming Wave

The Coming Wave examines the convergence of artificial intelligence and biotechnology as the defining forces of the 21st century. Suleyman argues that these technologies are advancing so rapidly that traditional regulatory frameworks cannot keep pace, creating a "wave" of disruption that will reshape economics, security, and human flourishing. The book combines historical analysis of previous technological revolutions with contemporary case studies and policy recommendations. Suleyman contends that without proactive governance and international coordination, these technologies risk concentrating power dangerously while amplifying existential risks. He proposes frameworks for responsible innovation, emphasizing the need for technologists, policymakers, and society to work together to ensure these waves benefit humanity broadly rather than concentrating benefits or harms.
