The Last Invention
Artificial General Intelligence is no longer a distant concept. It is quickly becoming the defining force of the 21st century, and every part of your life—work, wealth, meaning, and security—is about to be reshaped by it.
The Last Invention is your essential guide to understanding this moment and preparing for what comes next.
As AI systems rapidly close the gap between human and machine capability, society is entering unfamiliar territory. Some see unprecedented opportunity. Others see existential risk. Most people feel lost somewhere in the middle. This book helps you make sense of it all so you can navigate the change with clarity and confidence.
Drawing on deep research and conversations with leading thinkers, Alex Brogan breaks down:
- What the Intelligence Landing is and why it matters
- How AGI could transform work, productivity, and economic value
- The most credible optimistic and pessimistic timelines
- The forces driving acceleration and the hurdles that could still slow progress
- The skills, habits, and strategic moves that will matter most in the machine age
- How individuals, companies, and investors can prepare in practical, actionable ways
The book also includes accessible supplemental chapters on the future of scarcity, the evolution of real estate, and how meaning and purpose may shift as technology solves more of our basic needs.
If you want to:
- stay employable in a world of accelerating automation
- spot new opportunities before they become obvious
- protect against emerging risks
- understand how AGI might reshape society
- or simply get ahead of the curve
The Last Invention gives you the mental models and insights to make smart decisions in an uncertain future.
