Synopsis

Written before the AI boom, this book anticipated it.

In a world increasingly governed by expert systems, algorithms, and predictive models, decisions once made by individuals are quietly delegated to machines “for our own good.”

The Dictatorship of Expert Systems explores a radical idea: that the greatest danger of technological optimization is not surveillance, inequality, or job loss — but the end of the indeterminate future itself.

Blending speculative fiction, philosophy, economics, and systems theory, Pierre-Yves Matile examines how societies willingly trade uncertainty for safety, freedom for longevity, and responsibility for comfort.

Published in 2022, before generative AI reshaped public debate, this essay reads today less like speculation — and more like diagnosis.

This is not a book about technology.
It is a book about choice, risk, and what remains human when everything is optimized.
