100 Years Later: The Ten Stages of the AI Revolution
by David Priede
A History of the Future is not just a prediction. It is a map for the most dangerous and exciting century in human existence. Move beyond the daily cycle of hype and fear to discover the true trajectory of artificial intelligence and our place within it.
Dr. David Priede, PhD, a neuroscientist and technologist, bridges the gap between biological minds and digital intelligence in this groundbreaking book. Drawing on the history of computing and the deep patterns of evolution, he guides readers through the three eras of AI—from the clumsy tools of the past to the super-intelligent architects of the future.
Grounded in 100 specific technological milestones, this book empowers you to understand the structural shifts that are reshaping our world. Learn how the "Economic Flip" will redefine work, how the "Physical Merge" will transform our bodies, and how we can prepare—both philosophically and practically—for the arrival of Artificial General Intelligence.
By understanding the evolution of intelligence, we can make better choices to safeguard our humanity in the face of exponential change.
Intelligence is the force that shapes reality. It turns problems into solutions and dreams into matter. For many of us, we view the rise of AI as a disruption to our daily lives, often missing the profound beauty of what is actually happening: the merging of the biological and the digital into a single, cohesive destiny.
“We are the ancestors of a new kind of mind. The transition from human to post-human is not an end, but a beginning—a shift from being the inhabitants of the universe to becoming its architects.”
REVIEWS
"A vital map for the chaos. Dr. Priede cuts through the noise of the AI revolution with clarity and precision. Essential reading for any leader trying to navigate the transition from the Era of Tools to the Era of Agents."
Sarah Jenkins, Chief Technology Officer
Horizon Digital Solutions
"Finally, a book that treats Artificial Intelligence not as an alien invasion, but as a natural evolution. Dr. Priede masterfully bridges the gap between the neuron and the transistor, showing us that the digital mind is the inevitable child of the biological one. A fascinating, grounded perspective on what it means to be human in a silicon world."
Dr. Marcus Thorne, Department of Cognitive Science
Stanford University
"100 Years Later is a tour de force of speculative history. While many authors are stuck predicting the next fiscal quarter, Dr. Priede dares to look at the next millennium. By grounding the wildest concepts of the 'Era of Architects' in 100 concrete milestones, he transforms science fiction into a logical roadmap. It is a profound reminder that we are not just observers of the future, but the active architects of a new form of consciousness."
Dr. Elena Kogan, Director
Institute for Future Ethics
"The '100 Milestones' framework is a stroke of genius. It turns the abstract and terrifying speed of AI progress into an understandable, step-by-step journey. Engaging, accessible, and deeply important."
