*I finished Nick Bostrom's book "Deep Utopia" and I highly recommend it. There are lots of books describing what will happen if the AI revolution turns bad but this is the first one I've heard of that discusses what will happen if things go right, how will we find meaning in our lives if machines can do everything better than we can? Bostrom suggests there may be several ways it might still be possible to have a meaningful life. Parts of the book remind me a little of Douglas Hofstadter's Gödel, Escher, Bach, and that is very high praise, although Bostrom is more interested in philosophy than science or mathematics.*
