Brett Hurt launches new AI-era book worldwide

Brett Alexander Hurt’s new book, Love Conquers Fear: Humanity, AI, and the Age of Abundance for All, became available globally June 23. The book argues that artificial intelligence and other exponential technologies should be guided by love, ethics and human flourishing rather than fear.

Why it matters: - Brett Hurt’s book arrives as AI, robotics and other exponential technologies are reshaping work, business and society. - The book pushes a counter-narrative to AI panic and frames technology as something that should expand abundance more broadly. - Hurt is positioning the release as both a book launch and a broader movement around how humanity should respond to rapid technological change.

The details: - The book argues for a practical, love-centered worldview that rejects scarcity thinking. - Hurt says leaders, innovators and everyday citizens can help create an "Age of Abundance for All" by stewarding powerful technologies responsibly. - The book uses personal stories, philosophical ideas and real-world examples to make its case. - Hurt said, "Technology itself is neither good nor bad—it amplifies the intentions and values of those who create and use it." - Hurt added, "Humanity now faces a profound choice: allow fear to divide us, or choose love, wisdom, and collaboration as we build the future together." - The book has already appeared on Amazon bestseller lists. - More information about the book and the Love Conquers Fear movement is available online.
