Promethean: The AI Revolution That's Reshaping Everything We've entered a new age - one where machines don't just process commands, they compose symphonies, write code, trade stocks, influence elections, and upend entire economies. But behind the headlines and viral demos lies a deeper, more urgent story: how artificial intelligence is transforming the way we live, work, learn, and govern. Promethean is your crash course into the world of AI - what it is, where it came from, and why it matters now more than ever. The title draws inspiration from Prometheus, the mythological figure who stole fire from the gods and gifted it to humanity - a gift that brought both enlightenment and upheaval. Like fire, AI is a Promethean force: powerful, catalytic, and compounding. It doesn't just change one thing - it changes everything it touches. Inside, you'll explore: The dramatic rise of large language models like ChatGPT - and how they really work The global arms race for AI dominance across the U.S., China, EU, and India The coming disruption of jobs, education, law, creativity, and identity Agentic AI, AI-first devices, and what comes after smartphones The social, ethical, and political consequences unfolding right now Whether you're a founder, student, policymaker, or just someone who wants to understand what's coming, this book will prepare you for the AI-driven world already reshaping our societies. No PhD required. This is not the future. This is now. And it's only just begun.
