Why Doing Nothing Is More Dangerous to the Powerful Than Doing Something.
A cold, rational argument to leaders, investors and policymakers: in the AI age, inaction is not stability. It is the fastest route to rupture.
This is not simply a book about AI. It is about incentive structures, self-preservation, and why history suggests elites usually move — but usually too late.
