Summary

Kautilya's "Arthashastra" stands as a seminal work in the realm of political philosophy and economic theory, intricately interweaving elements of statecraft, military strategy, and governance. Written in ancient India during the 4th century BCE, the text adopts a pragmatic and often realistic approach to ruling, advising rulers on the intricacies of maintaining power, diplomacy, and welfare economics. Its prose is both authoritative and illustrative, rooted in the historical precedents of Indian polity yet resonating with timeless wisdom that echoes through various political contexts, from the ancient to the modern world. Kautilya, also known as Chanakya, was not only a philosopher but a shrewd statesman and strategist, believed to have played a pivotal role in the establishment of the Maurya Empire. His insights were informed by his experiences in the royal court and his critical observations of governance's practicalities, contrasting the idealistic views prevalent in earlier texts. The synthesis of his life experiences and scholarly pursuits crystallizes into a guide that transcends its historical moment. "Arthashastra" is indispensable for scholars, political scientists, and leaders alike, offering a profound exploration of power dynamics that resonates across ages. Its relevance continues to spark discussion on ethical governance, making it essential reading for those interested in the machinery of state and the moral challenges that come with leadership.

    ChatGPT for President

    What if the next president of the United States wasn’t human—but an artificial intelligence that already knows everything about you? In this book, I imagine what would happen if ChatGPT—or any advanced AI—became president, exploring how it could begin as a utopian dream where everyone feels seen, heard, and taken care of, before slowly revealing the darker truth of what happens when we surrender our freedom for comfort. I’ve lived online for more than a decade, building an entire life as a YouTuber, course creator, and digital entrepreneur before realizing how much of my soul I’d given to algorithms, and that experience inspired the question at the heart of this book: What happens when the same technology that already shapes our thoughts, feeds, and emotions starts running the government too? In these pages, I take you from the promise of a perfectly efficient AI-led society to the nightmare of total control, where we trade sovereignty for safety and forget how to live without machines telling us who to love, what to believe, and what to do next. ChatGPT for President isn’t a technical manual or a conspiracy theory; it’s a mirror held up to our future—a reflection of how close we already are to giving away everything that makes us human. If you’ve ever wondered where artificial intelligence is truly leading us, this book is my honest, unfiltered answer.
