AI will be the defining development of the twenty-first century. Within two decades, aspects of daily human life will be unrecognizable. AI will generate unprecedented wealth, revolutionize medicine and education, and create new forms of communication and entertainment. In liberating us from routine work, however, AI will also challenge the organizing principles of our economic and social order, introducing new risks for humankind. In ten gripping stories, Lee and Chen show readers what our world in 2041 might look like:

- In San Francisco, a new industry, "job reallocation," arises as AI displaces workers.
- In Tokyo, a music fan is swept up in an immersive form of mixed-reality celebrity worship.
- In Mumbai, a teenage girl rebels when deep-learning AI gets in the way.
- In Seoul, virtual teachers offer orphaned twins new ways to learn and connect.
- In Munich, a rogue quantum computer scientist's revenge plot imperils the world.

AI 2041 offers urgent insights into our collective future - while reminding readers that, ultimately, humankind remains the author of its destiny.
