Readers' Most Anticipated Books for Fall 2025
G.G. Melies
G.G. Melies asked Neil deGrasse Tyson:

My book "Quantum Algocracy" is about social polarization. It deals with the DMA syndrome (Dualism, Manichaeism, Armageddon) theorized by the Carter center and imagines a social civilization without humans in power. Do you think that a society governed by quantum algorithms of different processors that audit each other will be able to do better than us? Like a self-driving car.

Neil deGrasse Tyson Cool concept -- surely for a sci-fi film. But humans are delightfully more complicated than that. I'm quite sure that the greatest depths of our creativity derive from our greatest depths of irrationality. Not all that is irrational is bad. Any entity that does not participate in this bit of human uniqueness, would never understand us well enough to govern us.
