Techtopia: How Carbon Met Silicon and Humans Entered the AI Black Hole (Paperback)  | Released: 24-Sep-23

Is humanity’s digital future, our ‘Techtopia’, utopian or dystopian? Is the march from Carbon to Silicon—inside our bodies and in the world surrounding us—leading us to a higher state of flourishing or our doom? As AI radically advances, what will it even mean to be human? Serial technology entrepreneur and angel investor Kunal Nandwani not only tackles such fundamental questions but also examines how technology will shape us in multiple spheres—work, play, transportation, knowledge, food, and medicine. He even looks at its impact in the overarching spheres of social change, warfare, and climate change. Most importantly, he goes way beyond the dominant narratives of The Singularity and doomsday predictions by weaving in Vedantic and Aurobindonian perspectives. Techtopia sheds light on a final unique question—is AI the final propelling force that will take humans to their evolutionary destiny as foreseen by our Maharshis of yore? About the Author Kunal Nandwani is a serial tech entrepreneur and co-founder and CEO of uTrade and Cove Identity. He is also an active angel investor. He has authored two prior books—Squaring the Blockchain Circle in 2018, followed by Sociopreneur: Zero to One in 2020. Techtopia is his third book.
