Editorial Book Review:

By Loreen M

Some books speculate about the future, but 12 Years to AI Singularity feels like a warning clock set on the table. What makes this book stand out is how directly it confronts the question many people quietly avoid: what happens when artificial intelligence stops being a tool and starts becoming a force that reshapes power, ethics, and survival. It frames the future not as fantasy, but as an approaching crossroads.

This book makes me feel both tense and energized at the same time. You feel a constant sense of urgency that pushes you forward, but there are also times when you need to stop and think. The experience is less about comfort and more about awareness. It sparks curiosity, concern, and reflection in equal measure. Intellectually, it challenges assumptions about progress and control. Emotionally, it raises a subtle unease about how unprepared humanity may be for what it is building.

The main ideas are about what it means to make choices, be responsible, work together, and what those choices mean. The notion that AI could lead to either peace or conflict transcends mere technology. It shows how people use fear and power to make choices that aren't always the best. The book asks questions that everyone can understand, such as who is in charge, who benefits, and who pays the price when new ideas beat out old ones. These ideas can be used not only for AI but also for political, economic, and social systems from the past.

Peter Solomon writes with a direct and exploratory style that blends speculative storytelling with philosophical inquiry. The structure allows ideas to unfold gradually, giving space for debate rather than delivering rigid conclusions. He often uses near future scenarios to ground abstract concepts, making complex technological ideas feel tangible and relevant.  The language stays accessible while still carrying weight, especially when illustrating moments of collective choice or moral tension.

This book is important because it shows how the choices we make now will affect the future. It sticks with readers because it reminds them that technology is a reflection of human values. Anyone who is curious, worried, or interested in where the world is going should read this book.

About the Author 

Peter Solomon

Peter Solomon is a scientist, author and entrepreneur who is devoted to passing on his love for the many wonderful science stories to the younger generation through the media they like best. He believes that integrating science concepts into exciting stories is the best way for children to learn. The birth of his twelfth grandchild was the inspiration for The STARDUST MYSTERY book. The child characters in the story explore the creation of their atoms through time and space travel adventures in the Beamer Virtual World. Solomon was asked by his young book reviewers to create a virtual world that they could use. This inspired a National Science Foundation project to create video games and the Stardust Mystery YouTube channel for science videos to accompany the book. The characters in the story, games and videos were inspired by his grandchildren.

Peter Solomon holds a Ph.D. in physics from Columbia University. He lives in Connecticut with his wife Sally Moshein Solomon. Sally and two of their children, Jeff Solomon, and Joanne Solomon, took part in inspiring and creating the book. Solomon is working on a second book called The Race to the Big Bang.
