Life 3.0: Being human in the age of artificial intelligence by Max Tegmark was a New York Times best seller that caught my attention. The audio version was read by Rob Shapiro.

Review:
This book provided a fresh look at artificial intelligence for me. I really thought that the Terminator series was ridiculous. So does the author of this book. He demonstrates that it is quite conceivable that a true superintelligence would not need to build killer robots. Humans could be eliminated (if that was the goal) in much easier ways and argues convincingly that it is likely we wouldn't even know it was happening until it was done. The question, therefore, is whether (and if so how) a superintelligence can be fostered and developed without this outcome. The book is worth the read.
