Mo Gawdat has announced a new book, Alive: A Human's Guide to Living in the World of AI, listed as a 2027 title on his official website. Only a year has been given so far, not a specific publication date.
According to the site, the book "unpicks how we got to where we are today with artificial intelligence, what's in store for an uncertain future, and, crucially, what we can do to best weather the coming storm."
What the listings say about Alive: A Human's Guide to Living in the World of AI
A Pan Macmillan listing for the book carries a 2027 date and gives the page count as 288. Its blurb quotes the author describing the book as "my attempt to show you how to ride the AI wave instead of being crushed by it", and as a survival guide to help readers "stay alive, even thrive, in the turbulent flux of this new age".
A separate retailer listing at iMusic describes it as a clear outline of how lives will soon be profoundly changed by AI, a guide to navigating the storm ahead and an uplifting vision of what the far future may look like. That listing carries a 2028 date in its web address, so retail dating is not yet consistent across the trade.
A practical turn in the AI book shelf
The framing is notable: the official description is oriented around action (what readers can do) as much as explanation. That positions Alive as a guide for general readers rather than a technical or policy study, at least as the author's own site and the publisher's blurb present it.
Gawdat is also active on the speaking circuit around the same subject. A AV Nation report describes him as set to deliver a business keynote at ISE 2027, billing him as a bestselling author and AI visionary.
Alive is billed as a human-centred guide to coping with and benefiting from the rise of artificial intelligence. We have not yet reviewed it, so there is no LuvemBooks verdict to offer; the confirmed details above are what the author's site and listings currently establish.
