Dario Amodei is one of the most influential minds shaping the future of artificial intelligence-yet most people have never heard his name. Human After Machine pulls back the curtain on the physicist-turned-AI-architect who walked away from Big Tech to build something even bigger: Anthropic.
As the world races toward increasingly powerful AI, Amodei stands at the center of the storm driven by both ambition and caution. A builder of transformative models, a critic of reckless speed, and a strategist obsessed with alignment and safety, Amodei embodies the contradictions of our AI era.
This book follows his journey from the labs of OpenAI to founding Anthropic, exploring the technical brilliance, ethical tension, and quiet intensity of a man who believes the machines we create must not surpass the humanity we risk losing.
He's not trying to slow the future down. He's trying to make sure we survive it.
