Journalist Kevin Roose Says "The AGI Chronicles" Was Written by a Tired Human—Not AI

**Technology journalist Kevin Roose emphasized that his highly anticipated book on the artificial intelligence race, *The AGI Chronicles*, was "written by a very tired, overworked, under-slept human being"—a pointed clarification that he completed the work without AI assistance despite its focus on the trillion-dollar sprint to create AGI.** The book, released October 6, 2026 by Farrar, Straus and Giroux, draws on more than 150 interviews with insiders at OpenAI, Anthropic, and Google DeepMind, alongside unpublished company documents and research memos.
