The age of AI is not what you think. Rather than ushering in a fourth Industrial Revolution, AI has become a crucial social infrastructure of everyday life. It's embedded in the tools, platforms, and systems that organize our most intimate lives and our interactions with the most fundamental institutions of society, from government agencies to banks and schools. In these linkages are embedded assumptions about who we are, what we can do, and where we belong.

Every belief you hold, every conclusion you reach, every judgment you make is filtered through layers of experience, conditioning, memory, expectation, and emotion. Most people assume they are responding to reality itself. Few stop to consider that they may be responding primarily to their interpretation of it.

La Sicilia non esiste. O meglio, non è una sola. Di Sicilie ne esistono molte, forse troppe.

Do you want to change the world but wonder if there’s any point trying? Are you unsure what you can offer, or don’t feel that you fit the activist mould? Do you think activists can be self-righteous, even oblivious to the very people they’re trying to help? How Not To Save the World is a book about doing good, for anyone who has looked at politics or public discourse and thought, ‘we need better than this.’ The fervour that drives us to change the world can create blind spots, where we don’t see our own behaviour, or disregard it because the cause is urgent.
