Not sure if this is the right fit?
Consider Life 3.0 by Max Tegmark. Recommended by 18 sources.
“Life 3.0 reads like a long, wide-ranging conversation with a physicist who loves big if-then thought experiments. The useful part is its panoramic sweep across possible AI futures—from job automation to cosmic colonization—forcing you to consider timelines you might otherwise avoid. The limitation is that the speculative breadth often outruns the depth; chapters can feel meandering, and some readers will find the cosmic-scale scenarios too detached from practical concerns, making it hard to ground in real urgency.”
