There are many interesting and controversial issues associated with the next evolution in life, including when – not whether – it will come. As a very quick reference, bacteria represent the first stage of life, and we, humans, represent the second. This book is about the future of life in our universe, specifically about the next evolution in life, which Tegmark calls Life 3.0, or the third stage of life, where super intelligent machines will coexist with, and then eventually replace, human life. Although it doesn’t adequately address cybersecurity solutions, is very complicated in places, and is a lengthy read, I recommend including it in the Cybersecurity Canon, Despite these drawbacks, the book made me think deeply about the future and the rather undefined, but imminently critical, role that cybersecurity must play if we are to get the future right – or even have a far future at all. Life 3.0 – Being Human in the Age of Artificial Intelligence is absolutely fascinating. We have designed it so that you can directly participate in the process. The Cybersecurity Canon is a real thing for our community. We have more than 25 books on the initial candidate list, but we are soliciting help from the cybersecurity community to increase the number to be much more than that. Please write a review and nominate your favorite. We modeled the Cybersecurity Canon after the Baseball or Rock & Roll Hall-of-Fame, except for cybersecurity books.
