We all have realised our intimate and personal relationship with our digital devices and ubiquitous technologies. Plethora of applications on our smart phones, social media platforms, and connected devices, they all know much more than what we know about ourselves. Undoubtedly, technology such as Artificial Intelligence is providing us with new conveniences and making our lives easier in many ways. But, what if the same technology starts conspiring against us? Most of us are living an algorithmic life, giving away our control over our organic faculties to technologies. In the age of information, believing everything that is displayed on our screen and being persuaded and modified by the propagandas motivated by individuals, media, political or religious leaders, leading to a very dangerous situation that can erode our social fabric. The book describes the major challenges of the era of Artificial Intelligence such as Inequality, Biases, Misinformation, Deepfakes, Data Surveillance, Data Privacy, Cyber threats, Autonomous Weapons, Algorithmic killings and also introduces a refreshingly new perspective of Buddhist philosophy that can prevent us from getting trapped into the rabbit hole of technological dilemma. Ultimately, you have the choice!! Whether, you want to take the blue pill and live in blissful ignorance, or take the red pill and become aware about the reality.
