About

With AI transforming nearly every aspect of modern life—from how we work to how we think—the real question may no longer be what’s next for machines, but what’s next for us.
 
Tech entrepreneur, investor, and former Utah gubernatorial candidate Jeff Burningham explores that urgent question in his bold new book, The Last Book Written by a Human: Becoming Wise in the Age of AI. A high-performing founder turned deep thinker, Jeff went from building billion-dollar companies to confronting burnout, loss, and the limits of chasing success—emerging with a new, human-centered lens on how we must evolve in the face of AI.
 
About the book:

In The Last Book Written by a Human, tech entrepreneur and investor Jeff Burningham wrestles with the fundamental questions of existence, the future role of artificial intelligence in society, and the increasingly complex union between humanity and its creations.

With raw honesty, Burningham shares his personal story from Mormon missionary and Bishop to successful entrepreneur to his gubernatorial run and beyond, offering reflections on our otherworldly potential and uncertain future in the age of AI. His call to action is clear: As machines become smarter, we must become wiser.

You will discover:

• How the rise of AI is forcing humanity to confront fundamental questions about consciousness, intelligence, and what it means to be truly human.
• Why the development of AI must be guided by love, wisdom, and compassion.
• How to navigate relationships in the future, ensuring we maintain genuine human connection alongside increasingly synthetic ones.
• The importance of reforming institutions—religious, governmental, and business—to support human flourishing.
• The cosmic necessity of mastering your life as a human being, rather than a human doing.

This book is a wake-up call for our species to evolve beyond our unconscious patterns, false beliefs, and outdated systems in order to thrive in the age of AI.
