About this listen

What will you be in a world that no longer needs you? A technician in the shadow of an algorithm? A ghost in a machine-run society? Or a human that still matters?

The World in 2050 is a provocative journey into a future already under construction. It’s not just about artificial intelligence — it’s about what happens when society lets systems decide who is visible, valid, and valuable.

This book blends speculative storytelling, real-world parallels, and sharp analysis to explore what happens when predictive scoring replaces human judgment — and when machines are authorized to make irreversible decisions. Experience algorithmic ghosting, risk profiling, and digital erasure — all based on real-world systems that are already shaping our present.

One such case?

In 2020, Robert Williams, a Black man in Michigan, was wrongfully arrested based on a faulty facial recognition match — detained for a crime he didn’t commit. His story isn’t fiction. It’s the foundation of a future where justice is automated, and accountability is optional.

And the stakes are rising: In the development of autonomous weaponry, AI is now trained to evaluate threat levels, prioritize targets, and determine lethal engagement — with minimal human oversight. Who is accountable when a mistake is irreversible?

Perfect for: Futurists, ethicists, technologists, policymakers, educators — and anyone concerned with the future of being human

This is not a tale of distant dystopias. This is your invitation to question the systems shaping you.
