What will you be in a world that no longer needs you?
A technician in the shadow of an algorithm?
A ghost in a machine-run society?
Or a human that still matters?
The World in 2050 is a provocative journey into a future already under construction. It’s not just about artificial intelligence — it’s about what happens when society lets systems decide who is visible, valid, and valuable.
This book blends speculative storytelling, real-world parallels, and sharp analysis to explore what happens when predictive scoring replaces human judgment — and when machines are authorized to make irreversible decisions. Experience algorithmic ghosting, risk profiling, and digital erasure — all based on real-world systems that are already shaping our present.
One such case?
In 2020, Robert Williams, a Black man in Michigan, was wrongfully arrested based on a faulty facial recognition match — detained for a crime he didn’t commit. His story isn’t fiction. It’s the foundation of a future where justice is automated, and accountability is optional.
Predictive identities and algorithmic class systems
Real-world surveillance failures and social credit logic
The chilling rise of AI-driven bias and digital disappearance
Concepts like Algorithmic Ghosting, Code-Loyalist Syndrome, and The Citizen Stack
For readers of Homo Deus, AI 2041, Weapons of Math Destruction
Perfect for: Futurists, ethicists, technologists, policymakers, educators — and anyone concerned with the future of being human
This is not a tale of distant dystopias. This is your invitation to question the systems shaping you.
What will you be in a world that no longer needs you?
