"Extraordinary... beautifully written, clear-eyed and engaged in the deepest ethical questions of our day." — Rory Stewart

"Mallaby has done full justice to his kaleidoscopically interesting subject... expertly structured and vividly reported." — Financial Times

Even in a tech world filled with visionaries, Demis Hassabis stands apart. From a chess prodigy and teen coding wizard to a Nobel Prize winner and the driving force behind Google DeepMind, his life has been dedicated to a single, audacious goal: building artificial general intelligence to solve humanity’s hardest problems and unlock the deepest mysteries of the universe.

Based on three years of unprecedented access—including hundreds of hours of interviews with Hassabis, his inner circle, and his tech industry rivals—acclaimed author Sebastian Mallaby delivers a gripping, masterfully reported account of the race for superintelligence. The Infinity Machine explores how DeepMind remains anchored in Britain with a mission focused on scientific enlightenment rather than mere wealth, while grappling with the haunting shadow of Robert Oppenheimer and the profound ethical stakes of controlling a technology that may ultimately control us all.
