John Murray has snapped up Genesis: Artificial Intelligence, Hope, and the Human Spirit — the last book of elder statesman Henry Kissinger, written with former Google c.e.o. Eric Schmidt and Microsoft’s former chief research and strategy officer Craig Mundie.
Publishing director Joe Zigmond acquired UK and Commonwealth rights from Little, Brown & Company (a division of Hachette Book Group USA). The book will be published in hardback and e-book on 21st November 2024, marking one year since Kissinger’s death.
Genesis is the sequel to Kissinger’s 2021 book The Age of AI (John Murray), and is co-authored by Schmidt and Daniel Huttenlocher.
"In Genesis, the authors chart a course between blind faith and unjustified fear surrounding AI’s proliferation, and offer an accessible guide to how AI will shape civilisation in the modern era," the synopsis says. "The book will inspire and empower readers who are wondering what’s next."
