As I approach the launch of my podcast, Love Conquers Fear, I had a fun brainstorm yesterday. I called in the styles of Andy Weir, author of The Martian and Project Hail Mary (a book I’m currently enjoying, thanks to Josh Baer), as well as Jorge Luis Borges for character development to create this (thanks to Jason Stoddard for the reminder of Borges’ genius in this arena).

Love Conquers Fear: Humanity, AI, and the Age of Abundance for All is the most important book I’ve ever written and is a true soul-calling for me and a love letter to humanity. The next ten years will define whether we are well on our path to the Age of Abundance for All or whether we are going to extinct ourselves. I’m 95% certain that we’ll make it, as we have before with smallpox and nuclear weapons. This book, and the accompanying podcast (simply named Love Conquers Fear), is my best attempt to make sure we do. I’m not alone, of course — many are bringing the Light, including Dr. Fei-Fei Li, Mira Murati, Eric Schmidt, Demis Hassabis, Mustafa Suleyman, and so many others, from spiritual teachers to investors to entrepreneurs to philosophers.

Ok, now onto the short story, God’s Final Exam, which is a visioning exercise for me on how we may be able to make it. I hope you enjoy it:
