As we enter the third decade of the twenty-first century, we have been, are, or will soon be exposed to a new technology known as Artificial Intelligence (AI). "You had better be ready," Captain Jack Harkness, Torchwood (2005).

This book examines the rise of AI and how it has already impacted our lives in ways we were unaware of. In this book, I attempt to explain the impact AI has had, is having, and will have, as well as historical parallels to technology that is now considered old and relegated to history. With a peculiar plot twist, the question I pose in this book is whether we will learn from history or will AI be the proverbial pen, writing our past, present and future, for us.
