'Disconcerting . . . a disturbing and important book' NEW SCIENTIST

'Smart and wonderfully readable' NEW YORK TIMES

The bad science and sinister ideas behind Silicon Valley's foolish obsession with immortality, AI paradise and limitless growth.

Tech billionaires have decided that they should determine our futures for us. According to Elon Musk, Jeff Bezos, Sam Altman and more, the only good future for humanity is one powered by technology: trillions of humans living in space, functionally immortal, served by superintelligent AIs.

In More Everything Forever, scientist and writer Adam Becker investigates these wildly implausible and often profoundly immoral visions of tomorrow to reveal why, in reality, there is no good evidence that they will, or should, come to pass. The giants of Silicon Valley claim that their ideas are based on science, but the truth is darker: they come from a jumbled mix of shallow futurism and racist pseudoscience. And behind these fanciful visions of space colonies and digital immortality is a cynical power grab, at the expense of essential work spent on solving real problems like the climate crisis.

More Everything Forever exposes the powerful myths that dominate Silicon Valley, challenging us to see how foolish, and dangerous, these visions of the future are.

    5.0 out of 5 stars I will buy every book this author ever writes
    Reviewed in Canada on May 25, 2025

    I want to distinguish the specific subject matter of this book (the "what"), from the "how" of Becker's writing and reasoning. The "what" is interesting and relevant, but also bleak and depressing. This isn't a page turner in the sense that I'm excited to read what comes next -- to the contrary, I almost wish I didn't know. As for the "how", though, I really cannot overstate how much I grew to adore Becker as a writer over the course of the book.

    The prose is clean and efficient, but what's really exceptional is (a) the reasoning skills that Becker deploys in unpacking and working his way through some difficult and very loaded topics, and (b) Becker's empathetic understanding of the reader's perspective reading the book (what they need explained versus what can be taken for granted, and what's likely to seem important versus boring or irrelevant). Maybe this is a unique experience to me, because I happen to think and perceive the world in much the same way as Becker, but either way the result is a book that is immensely educational and stimulating, where so many other writers would have been dull, confusing or agitating.

    5.0 out of 5 stars An AI appraisal you didn't know you needed---but will a few pages in.
    Reviewed in the United States on April 23, 2025
    Verified Purchase
    Society seems to be buying into an AI future, and this book uniquely lifts the lid on what exactly we're getting. Throughout its pages, he skillfully (comedically, critically and engagingly) examines the technological, scientific and sociological history, present and future of AI. We learn about the warring factions vying for control, and the absurd, implausible---and often morally abhorrent---origins of their beliefs.

    In learning about this cast of real-world characters, we begin to see a bit more clearly what AI is, what AI isn't, and what it means for us going forward. In a sense, the book reads almost as a deft, eloquent and funny home-inspector, providing society with an honest appraisal of a real "fixer-upper" of a home. It turns out that one of the walls is just painted canvas, the roof is on upside down, the "garage" is fully open air, and wombats live in the chimney.

    Yet at the same time the book is not against AI, as a whole---throughout we see where AI is useful or *does* get things right becomes highlighted once we see past all of the misleading claims by warring factions of techno-utopian cults. Like the home inspector, we get a much better idea of what we're buying and what its worth. Regardless of whether you're a ChatGPT daily driver, or someone who finds it all creepy... this is *the* book to read for 2025.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Truth, brilliantly told
    Reviewed in the United States on April 24, 2025

    Wow. This book brings a wide array of trends together to create a cohesive vision of movements shaping our future – and our PRESENT – in ways that may satisfy the cravings and whims of a small set of powerful people but do not represent larger or agreed-to desires. Adam's big-thinking perspectives come together in readable storytelling that's backed with data, bringing all-too-real shifts into clear focus. I felt a lot of these concerns on some sort of intuitive level. This book helped me match that intuition with clear information, citable facts, and language that brings it all to light. Highly recommended.

    Amazing book about the most important issues of our time. Elegantly written, backed by rigorous scientific theory, and still very approachable.
