When Cade arrived at the idea of Genius Makers -- about “the mavericks who brought AI to Google, Facebook and the world" -- he set out to write “a nonfiction book about the AI arena, but to have it read like a novel.”

This week we checked in with Cade to discuss Genius Makers, his new book about “the mavericks who brought AI to Google, Facebook and the world.” Again with the people!
