Consider AI Superpowers by Kaifu Lee. Recommended by 20 sources.
“This book reads like a well-connected technologist’s urgent TED talk, blending personal career story, startup anecdotes, and macro predictions. What works best is a clear, alarm-bell view of China’s rapid AI rise and the coming job displacement, with tangible data and sector breakdowns. You’ll likely find it useful as a conversation starter or trend snapshot. But it often oversimplifies complex geopolitical and ethical tensions into a binary rivalry, and the determined optimism can feel boosterish. The tone may grate if you prefer nuanced, academic treatments or worry about the author’s business interests shaping the narrative.”
