Genius Makers: The Mavericks Who Brought AI to Google, Facebook, and the World
I've been reading this book off and on for months now. Not because it's bad; it's fascinating. But it's dense with ideas that require digestion. Genius Makers chronicles the people building AI, the competition between labs, and the race toward AGI. It's the kind of book where you read a chapter, put it down to think, and pick it up weeks later when you're ready for the next dose of "holy shit, this is actually happening."
