In the digital labyrinth of the 21st century, a quiet anxiety has become the soundtrack to our lives. We are drowning in notifications, yet starving for meaning. We chase the ghost of productivity, only to end the day exhausted, wondering what we accomplished.

The Centaur's Edge is not another technical manual or a breathless prediction of dystopia.

Not only is AI built on an unequal global system of power, it stands poised to entrench existing inequities, further consolidating a new age of empire.

Under the aegis of machine learning in our data-driven machine age, computers are programming themselves and learning about - and solving - an extraordinary range of problems, from the mundane to the most daunting.

Technology - at least in theory - is improving our productivity, efficiency, and communication. The one thing it's not doing is making us happier. We are experiencing historically high levels of depression and dissatisfaction. But it doesn't have to be that way. Technology can drive - not diminish - human happiness.

A new field of collective intelligence has emerged in the last few years, prompted by a wave of digital technologies that make it possible for organizations and societies to think at large scale.

So why do smart technologies not automatically lead to smart results?
