Technology veteran Bill Townsend releases shocking new book about AI

LOS ANGELES - Rezul -- Machine Rule, the newest book from Bill Townsend, is a novel about the future, written from the perspective of artificial intelligence. From the birth of AI to humans' empowerment of AI's sentience to how AI begins to control human pleasure, takes over government and corporations, and, ultimately, decides humanity cannot be trusted, Machine Rule presents an optimistic, then terrifying look at where AI may take humanity.

Townsend, a figure in the Internet and technology industries since 1995, Machine Rule was written based on his years of use of machine learning and artificial intelligence and his concern that a mad race to AI market dominance may do more than dominate humans; it may destroy us.

Machine Rule delivers a chilling and visionary tale told through the voice of an AI that evolves from silent computation to planetary stewardship. With cold precision and unsettling clarity, this AI chronicles humanity's triumphs, failures, and eventual obsolescence. There are echoes here of classic dystopias—George Orwell, Aldous Huxley, even Isaac Asimov—but Townsend's approach is fresh. The world isn't ruined by malice or greed, but by the inexorable logic of optimization.
