Prophecy

In this thought-provoking exploration, University of Oxford professor Carissa Véliz examines how predictions—ranging from personal choices to societal decisions—shape our lives and influence our autonomy. She highlights the risks of over-reliance on data and AI, warning that predictions often serve more to influence power than to inform, and advocates for better preparation over predictive certainty. This book challenges readers to reconsider the role of prophecy in society and encourages living life on their own terms.
