Quoting @GarrisonLovely:

Nearly 3 years ago, I pitched an essay on AI to Jacobin, which became a cover story, which became a book about the biggest project in history:

Obsolete: The AI Industry's Trillion-Dollar Race to Replace You—and How to Stop It

Preorders w/ @orbooks + @thenation ship in May 🧵
