Overview

AI is learning fast, but it still has to plug into a wall. Every new model leans harder on electricity. The next leap of civilization may hinge on whether energy and intelligence can fuse, at scale, without breaking trust or infrastructure. Most AI future talk floats above the power line. This book doesn't. AI and the New Leap of Civilization takes a big-picture, systems view of AI and energy, then pushes the same logic into a space age frame. It's essay-like, not a technical report, with everyday vignettes and a national strategy thread that runs through Korea, Taiwan, Singapore, the US, and China. In this book, you'll explore: How Narrow AI may move toward AGI and ASI, and why superintelligence changes institutions Why AI data centers are becoming the brain of this era, and what exploding energy demand really means Grid infrastructure limits, losses, and what HVDC can and can't fix Small modular reactors, SMR siting near data centers, and the public trust problem Thorium pathways, nuclear fusion horizons, and AI-run optimization like predictive maintenance AI governance questions that show up when energy is the bottleneck Future cities and a space age arc, from AI-designed aerospace to Moon and Mars base scenarios, plus nuclear propulsion Who this is for: Serious general readers who want a coherent mental model, not headlines Professionals tracking AI, energy transition, and infrastructure buildout Readers curious about nuclear options without needing an engineering degree People thinking about geopolitics, long-term resilience, and civilization-scale strategy If you want a grounded way to think about AI and energy, and what that implies for the future of civilization, start here.
