A live, cinema-style book club experience exploring AI, power, and what comes next β€” starting with The Coming Wave.
About this Event

We’re not just reading about AI anymore.
We’re living inside it.

From breakthroughs to disruption, AI is reshaping how we work, think, and lead.

But here’s the real question:
πŸ‘‰ Who is building this future and for who is it really for?

This is the first session of a 2-part live series on AI, power, and society.

We begin with one of the most important books of our time:
The Coming Wave by Mustafa Suleyman



🎬 THE EXPERIENCE

This is not a typical book club. It’s a curated space for thinking, questioning, and understanding what comes next.


Event Photos

Hosted in The Greenroom, a private cinema-style space in the heart of Dublin, this is not your typical book club.

πŸ‘‰ Think:

  • cinematic setting
  • immersive conversation
  • curated, intimate experience



🧠 WHAT THIS SESSION IS ABOUT

In The Coming Wave, Mustafa Suleyman explores the unstoppable rise of powerful technologies from AI to biotech and the challenge of controlling them.

This session will unpack:

  • Why AI is accelerating faster than institutions can adapt
  • The tension between innovation and regulation
  • What this β€œwave” means for society, work, and leadership
  • Whether we are shaping AI β€” or reacting to it



πŸ” PART OF A 2-PART SERIES

This event is Part 1 of a curated AI series:

Part 1 β€” The Coming Wave (April 30)
β†’ Understanding the scale and speed of AI disruption

Part 2 β€” Empire of AI (Coming soon, at the Odeon Cinema)
β†’ Who holds the power behind AI systems
(based on Empire of AI by Karen Hao)

πŸ‘‰ Attend one or both but together, they tell the full story.




✨ WHAT MAKES THIS DIFFERENT

This event is part of My SafeSpace , a platform rethinking how we engage with books.

We don’t just recommend or summarize books. We turn them into experiences, conversations, and perspective shifts.

πŸ‘‰ Think Blinkist or Audible meets real-life dialogue but deeper, human, and interactive.




🧩 WHAT YOU’LL EXPERIENCE

βœ”οΈ A guided breakdown of key ideas from The Coming Wave
βœ”οΈ Real conversation on AI, power, and society
βœ”οΈ A curated, intimate setting (not a crowded event)
βœ”οΈ Open discussion β€” your perspective matters
βœ”οΈ Networking with curious, forward-thinking people




πŸ‘₯ WHO THIS IS FOR
  • Professionals trying to understand AI beyond the headlines
  • Leaders navigating change
  • Curious minds who want depth, not just content
  • Anyone asking: What does this mean for me?
