What it is

This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice. One Monday, nearly $600 billion vanished from Nvidia’s market value. The cause was a free AI model from a small Chinese lab. If powerful AI could suddenly be built more cheaply, why were the world’s biggest companies committing hundreds of billions to vast new data centres? Then something stranger happened. They spent more.

AI Bubble or Revolution? follows the money as it moves from chipmakers to cloud giants, from those giants into AI labs, and back again through contracts, investments, and debt. The profits are real. So are the promises that have not yet paid off. The race reaches beyond Wall Street into pension funds, electricity bills, and towns asked to power buildings that may outlast the boom.

A new technology can change the world and still destroy the fortunes built around it. The question is no longer whether AI is impressive. It is whether anyone can afford to stop spending before they know what it is worth—and who gets the bill when the answer arrives.
