Widely recognized as one of the world’s greatest chess players, Garry Kasparov is also an activist, founder of the nonpartisan Renew Democracy Initiative, and author of multiple books, including Winter Is Coming: Why Vladimir Putin and the Enemies of the Free World Must Be Stopped and Deep Thinking: Where Machine Intelligence Ends and Human Creativity Begins. Max Levchin, co-founder of PayPal, called the latter “a highly human exploration of artificial intelligence, its exciting possibilities and inherent limits.”

Kasparov recently spoke with author/attorney Talmage Boston about his books, the Russia/Ukraine war, and the urgency of preserving democracy around the globe. Listen to the podcast here.
