How will artificial intelligence affect crime, war, justice, jobs, society, and our very sense of being human? The rise of AI has the potential to transform our future more than any other technology - and there's nobody better qualified or situated to explore that future than Max Tegmark, an MIT professor who's helped mainstream research on how to keep AI beneficial.

1) It's "h tee tee pee colon slash slash" not "h tee tee pee colon backslash backslash" - how do the voice over artist and editors not know the difference between a slash and a backslash?
2) The last time I heard someone make the mistake of including the protocol (http://) in a URL when verbally referring to a URL was in the 90s.
It might be helpful to find someone a little more in touch with technology to voice such a technology-heavy book.

Devoid of Useful Information
Reviewed: 2017-11-28
The tagline for this book made me reluctant to get it since it seemed like another "get rich quick" book meant to profit from desperate people, but I got it anyway off the recommendation from another book. Suffice to say, I should've followed my instincts. The author shares a lot of stories that quite obviously never happened (eg "rich dad" is a total fabrication) and tells about great deals that he's made without applying concrete, intelligent principals behind them. He reveals his lack of understanding in so many subjects that he talks about, and espouses taking advantage of people to turn a profit. This is very much noticeable in sections where he re-states that whatever he's talking about is LEGAL while failing to notice that they're completely immoral.
After having read this book, I can say that any negative feelings I have towards the rich are a little bit more justified.
With that having been said, there's obviously some beneficial advice (eg. grow assets, start early, etc). This kind of information should be available to you in any professional money management or investment book, so I wouldn't waste your time here.
