As we begin to see the effects of AI on the American political process and society, where will this trajectory lead? In their new novel 2054, the follow-up to 2034, authors Elliot Ackerman and Admiral James Stavridis imagine a moment when a radical leap forward in technology combines with America’s violent partisan divide to create an existential threat to the country, and the world. How will the world’s great powers react in a new era of scientific discovery?

In this virtual book talk three years after their discussion on 2034, Ackerman, Stavridis, and Doorstep co-hosts Nikolas Gvosdev and Tatiana Serafin discuss AI, biotech, geopolitics, and a dark yet possible future that we must do all we can to avoid.
